It has a lot of cool stuff, and I'm intrigued by its approach to threading. (Per-thread heaps and message passing, with an unsafe shared heap if you need it.)
How does dynamic typing work in Nimrod, if it has it? What's the equivalent of being able to call Write() on any io.Writer in Go, for example? [Edit: just found the explanation at http://nimrod-lang.org/tut2.html#dynamic-dispatch but have not yet read and digested.]
I'd love to see some open-source projects that've been written in it--the Nimrod tools and stdlib are obviously a good start. I think one of the things that really helped Go was having lots of n00b-friendly content (the tour, a short "spec", Effective Go doc, blog posts, talks); you could call it "marketing", but it really helped me, at least.
