Added the fact that we pay developers to use Nim for an upcoming product. |

*::Is harvard.edu a notable and reliable source? http://abel.harvard.edu/computing/nim/index.html? In addition to that there is a wide range of articles by independent bloggers about Nim, some even compare Nim to Rust (Rust is notable and I consider it on the same level as Nim, http://arthurtw.github.io/2015/01/12/quick-comparison-nim-vs-rust.html). There is also a very big presence on Rosetta Code: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Nim -- [[User:dom96|<span style="color:#3B3B3B">dom</span><span style="color:#097FBA">9</span><span style="color:#1B8C04">6</span>]] ([[User talk:Dom96#top|talk]]) 10:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
*:::I don't think harvard.edu counts, no. If it was published by an established computer science professor then perhaps (see [[WP:USERGENERATED]]), but usually we look for things like articles in actual academic journals, or books, or news publications. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 10:45, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
*: We currently pay developers in our company to use Nim for actual projects which are to be released over the course of the next year as (proprietary) software for financial analysis and consulting. We decided to use Nim for it's unique features (it even invented new forms of meta-programming). Also we found out about Nim because it is often mentioned in comparison to Rust (another fairly new language) and recognized by leading developers at Mozilla. What I write may not (yet) change the status of the article because there is no citable reference for my claim until we finish our product. I wanted to mention it anyway as I think that paying people for using a computer language is strong evidence for its relevance — '''''[[User:OderWat|oderwat]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:OderWat#top|talk]])</sup> 11:42, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
