I don't have any professional experience or ambitions, but:

Use nim for personal projects. It feels like there is less boilerplate than others I've tried and it felt more natural to me than python. Faster than python and compiles. Plus has a javascript backend option. Pretty neat language all in all and does an ok job from scripting to web.

Interest in trying? Probably Kotlin. Seems like another language with wide utility.

I've only heard of nim thanks to the discourse around Mojo, i'll check it out !
