IMO people really should stop comparing it to Python, it's a very different language.

I don't mind the comparison but do wish the comparison wouldn't so often be "it's a better Python."

I've been programming Python 14+ years and I've dabbled in Nim and I agree it's a very different language. Yes, there are similarities, but my expectations about it being a lot like Python from the community and docs actually led to some significant frustration and discouragement.

"Inspired by"..."borrows concepts from" are better descriptors IMO. But it would be better if an unqualified "it's like Python" disappeared.

Your opinion contradicts the official description of Nim on the language's home page:

> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

Also, the "Features" page contains "Inspired by Python" twice, and "concepts from Ada and Modula" once.
