Yes I agree that Python success most probably due to its productory of its peudocode-like syntax that makes building libraries more attractive. In addition to Nim, D programming is also Phytonic due to its GC by default approach and it is a very attractive Fortran alternative for HPC, numerical computation, bit twiddling, etc. D support for C is excellent and the latest D compiler can compile C codes natively, and it is in GCC eco-system similar to Fortran. Heck, D native numerical library GLAS is already faster than OpenBLAS and Eigen seven years ago [1]. In term of compilation speed D is second to none [2].
