> When was Nimrod renamed to Nim? Officially as of [version 0.10.2](https://nim-lang.org/blog/2014/12/29/version-0102-released.html): **2014-12-29**.
// Or [a day later in Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_in_Europe_Day#Soviet_Victory_Day). > [http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2017/06/08/language-rankings-6-17](http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2017/06/08/language-rankings-6-17)/ Looks like """ Nim **_rod_** """ shrank a bit in GitHub popularity rank and advanced on StackOverflow compared to their [last quarterly report](http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2017/03/17/language-rankings-1-17/). Both of those indicators (but especially StackOverflow) are a bad way to measure programming language popularity. We expect Nim to enter TIOBE Top 100 within about a year. Rome wasn't built in a day... In RedMonk's defense regarding still using the old language name (I love playing "devil's advocate"): it's in their interest "to discourage upstart programming languages from changing their names every five minutes to get attention" (mock meta parody quotes). Maybe waiting X years to change the name is understandable, for reasonable values of X... > That looks a lot like spam. No, it's a valid point about RedMonk's report published a few days ago still using the old language name, which might also be affecting accuracy of those popularity ratings. See [THIS IMAGE](http://libman.org/img/scr/20170611-redmonk-nimrod.png). (Can't get image embedding working. RST is the dumbest syntax ever, makes even markdown look good in comparison, mumble mumble mumble...)
