Also INim at the Nim-2020 conference for a REPL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa_9vut4TzQ&list=PLxLdEZg8DR...

In short, I think at least for the linked to table you mentioned, Nim does check all the boxes.

Thanks! This is interesting, although I'd be worried about how stable this is for the long term. Would be happy to have my worries annihilated of course :)
It depends how good/low level a programmer you are, but it's really not that hard to spin up your own impl. I did an (incomplete) Python multiprocessing like dealio in like 100 lines of code (https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/cligen/procpoo...) just to make my `only.nim` run faster because libmagic/file are so CPU intensive. So, one way to annihilate your worries is to just roll your own.
