Pros
Pro Concurrency and parallelism
Nim uses async await to achieve concurrency. Like C#, Python, Hack, Dart, Kotlin, JavaScript and (soon) Rust (in fact, the Rust implementation is worthy of mention as it originally intended to be implemented via macros, it seems they gave up on that for now though. Nim's implementation is still 100% macro-based.
Nim has a spawn for parallelism, and you can also use channels if you wish.
Pro Easy to integrate with another languages
You can use Nim with any language that can be interfaced with C. There's a tool which helps you to create new C and C++ bindings for Nim - c2nim.
Also you can use Nim with Objective C or even JavaScript (if you're compiling for these backends).
