Gamefromscratch is a popular YT channel mostly focused on game dev tools, but not too long ago they also started covering relatively obscure programming languages. At that time they asked for suggestions on which languages to cover and Nim got quite a few requests. Today, the video about Nim was released. Enjoy!

As I said on Reddit it looks like we should mention more platforms on the web-page. He starts out by saying that you might have a hard time if you want to make games for mobile or consoles. But Nim runs just fine on mobile and while I don't know about any projects compiling for consoles we do have Nintendo Switch support in the compiler at least..

I agree that the video could have been more in-depth, but it still did bring Nim in front of an audience of up to 160k people, so hopefully at least a fraction of them will give it a try.

That might just be YouTube not liking links in comments.

I didn't find the video biased on the issue of whitespace. He just said it wasn't what he personally liked, not that it was a bad thing. These kinds of videos are always imperfect. My rough impression was that he found one library that looked like turtle/logo, and built his presentation around that. Good advertising overall.
