    Nim is also a strong player as a systems programming language. In terms of memory management, it's configurable, and by default you get ARC (no GC). I've written a hobby kernel (if you can call it that) in Nim[1] as well as Zig[2], and I found Nim to be much more ergonomic and approachable. The fact that Zig requires weaving an allocator through most calls that may allocate gets in the way of what I'm trying to do. I'd rather focus on core logic and have ref counting take care of dropping memory when appropriate.

    One thing I wish Nim had though is true sum types with payloads. I think there's an RFC for that, but it's a shame it's not in the language yet.

    If anyone is interested, I have a couple of implementations of booting under UEFI and getting a bunch of info about the system (don't expect a functioning system, they just boot and dump some info):
