Where/how do you view and search Nim's docs?
It is! Can be found in the website folder, and it's called gendoc.nim: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel/tree/master/website

A Cost Model for Nim
which is this great project btw: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
what happened to that cool landing page you had?

MicroPython – Python for Microcontrollers
https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
The author of ratel also did a talk on microcontroller programming with Nim for FOSDEM. It doesn't bring up MicroPython, but it does bring up TinyGo and some other alternatives mentioned in this thread.

Nim v2.0 Released
That looks interesting. Unfortunately it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while? Is that because it's complete or a lack of interest?
For example, the approach mentioned at the bottom of the README of integrating via nlvm (https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm) sounded great but appears to be unpursued.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Being able to compile to C, C++, ObjC, and JavaScript natively (and LLVM using https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm ), along with an excellent FFI (including to and from Python) means you don't need to rewrite dependencies as you can use them directly. Nim is great at glue code - arguably better than Python.
Along with general language characteristics such as being high level and productive like Python, but with intricate "bare metal" control when you want it, really does make it suitable for writing almost everything.
