This is not really true, most of the times the discussion goes like this
Q: "Why haven't you implemented feature X -- python has it, so nim should too"
A: "Nim is not python, it is a different language, not all things implemented there are good, so we don't implement everything"
So this is not "against python" it is against specific attitude towards nim where people think it should be a python clone instead of a separate language
Given I used to be a python dev myself before I picked up nim and since then have helped out a fair bit of python-folks picking up nim, I'm not sure what that's based on.
The fact that nim doesn't have exactly the same stdlib defined as python (though there's a package for that)? That Araq has said that nim isn't a variation of python?
No one is against Python developers, you're clearly exaggerating, I would ask for a source but we both know it doesn't exist. What people try to convey the whole time to people coming from python, which I was years ago, is that nim is not compiled python. It's a totally different language. I am sorry that message sometimes gets lost in translation but I don't know what would be clearer than this recent thread.
There's my problem with nim. I was really excited about it two years ago and tried to get into it. Unfortunately I found the community not very welcoming. All the issues I had, had been raised before and dismissed.
I've since switched to Rust. The syntax isn't quite as nice but it's outweighed by the fact that the community is great and the memory safety is a game changer!
My problem with rust, is that community is overzealous to promote their language, even in the cost of spreading lies and misinformation and harassment. I was routinely attacked by anonymous accounts. The common thing they say is people using other language than rust are dumb. A few weeks ago some people joined the nim discord and besides promoting rust, they started name calling. I stay miles away from rust, it has by far the worst community. It's shameful.
