Nim.

My current job is more focused on business processes and advising on cybersec, this means that coding for me is only for fun and side projects.

I love the syntax and the sufficient standard library. I would pick python every time, but Nim's performance and compilation to a single binary file makes everything so much simpler so I can focus on the features instead of having to optimize and manage dependencies.

I have completed Advent of Code in Nim this year and it has been a joy.

How do you deal with the lack of community packages that Python has. I wanna try Nim but that is the only thing stopping me right now.
It is a big lack if you want to start a complex project, I cannot deny it.

But at the scope I code, it presents itself as a way for me to solve the problem by myself.
