This is just the front page if the nimrod site. There's nothing there about Rust, Go, or any language comparison.

Why is it better?

Consider the Nimrod Programming Language http://geetduggal.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/consider-nimrod/

Having worked in a Hebrew School I get that Nimrod was a hero, but in most of the world Nimrod is an insult.

While "rust" is typically not a positive thing, it does imply 'aged' which can be a good thing in a programming language.

I understand that Nimrod is typically about as fast as Go and Rust in performance, but Google's adoption of Go does offer Go a significant advantage as a CV/Career builder.

The title of this thread is a bit misleading as the page doesn't really talk about why Nimrod is a good alternative.

Git is an insult too.

Curious choice of name. I expected satire from a language called Nimrod. I don't see where this is a better alternative to Rust or Go.

Sorry if the title was misleading. While better is a very subjective term, I meant nimrod to better in the sense that, while Rust ans Go are amazing languages, I believe they do not do anything to make programming and understanding code easier. Nimrod makes an a better attempt at simplifying syntax and making distribution easier than Rust or Go.

Can anyone provide more concise points into why Nimrod is a better alternative to Go or Rust? The way the language is described sounds pretty close to Go, I am curious where it shines compared to them?

Metaprogramming!

Real generics! (Hygenic) lisp style macros

Also, and I know this is subjective, better syntax.

Probably it's better than Rust and Go via more powerful macro system, although I'm not very sure because reasoning about macros is kind of hard.

Was expecting a link to D ;-)

Misleading title indeed.
