Python was like that once, too. Now we have the necessary experience to understand what are crucial aspects of the language that are missing but are extremely difficult to change post-factum, such as removing the GIL. Nim has no such constraints, and while building the ecosystem takes time, I have no doubts it will progress smoothly as Nim is such a pleasure to use. Even for such a young language I feel we're already in a good shape: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Curated-Packages.
