Nim's syntax is far away from that of Python its more like "clean" JavaScript.

I wasnt intending to be sarcastic. I apologize if so.

I think it's very pythonic.

Can you give examples?

Also, "clean" JavaScript can look like CoffeeScript which look very much like Python/Ruby, you can almost say that "clean" versions of languages tend to converge to something like that for some ppl

CoffeeScript is terrible. Full of implicit rules and magic. Python generally seems to be the opposite.
I don't think it's magical syntactically. Semantically, maybe?
The syntax is not 100%. From variable delaration to delacring functions
There are certain differences but I wouldn't say the syntax is "far away". It's incredibly similar to Python.
