1\. As said by @shashlick, nimgen and its successors nimterop are great auto-wrapping tools. I actually think no other language as the equivalent for C and C++ wrapping. Fragments seems to also work very well as it has been used to auto-generates bindings to C++ PyTorch:

You can use gdb on windows, mingw comes with it iirc. 3\. There are only 3 paid full-time developers working on Nim. Everyone else is a volunteer. Also not everyone is using VScode (see the excellent neovim plugin). I think for a language to take off, it needs to be able to delegate to the community, especially self-contained parts that will not impact interoperability between Nim users (unlike something like serialization/deserialization API). An editor plugin is pretty much self-contained and there is no interoperability issue so this fits the bill.
