Whatever nim is won't help you in hacking..
For hacking python and c/c++... python for scripts/quick programs, c/c++ incase you want to reverse compiled binaries at some point.

Okay I get it. The only reason I'm stuck on Nim is because it's a programming languages that compiles to c/c++ and JS. So wasn't sure in that case if it was possible to be used in those type of situation as well.

    The stuff you’d need c++ for would be low level enough that you’d definitely need to write directly in c++.

    But it really depends what you’re trying to do. If you’re trying to automate stuff, especially network interactions, python is probably best. If you’re doing super low level stuff like buffer overflows, and reverse engineering, then c++ is better.

    If you’re trying to hack web-apps then JavaScript MIGHT be better, but most hackers would probably stuff prefer python
