Nim to me is basically compiled Python. I really root for it, but it honestly hasn't gotten the traction it deserves

I'm old enough to remember a war between Perl and Python (bioinformatics). I was on team Python and didn't understand why would anyone want to write code in Perl. Python didn't have traction, nor books or libraries.

Fast forward 20 years, and everything is Python or R.
