I've used https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy and I have to say the package, the author and the nim community were all phenomenal in helping me implement nim code that works as a Python package.

I've asked (sometimes stupid) questions in the Nim Matrix channel about some particular thing I was stuck on, and every time someone has answered it graciously and almost immediately. The community has been great, and I'm starting to really like the language.

For me it's like Python in the sense that I can bang out a quick, single-file program on a whim, but if it starts growing beyond that Nim is really fast, expressive, and portable. I can cross-compile a binary for any common platform (Nintendo Switch even), and then just send it over and run it.

Yes. community has been an outstanding factor in my whole journey of Nim so far.It becomes so easy to try out new features with such active feedback.
