It should probably also be worth mentioning that while the syntax is reminiscent of Python, much of Nim's semantics are derived from Modula-3. If you're familiar with Pascal-like languages, you'll find yourself right at home with Nim.

(and, on a side note, Go has a little Wirth in it too: it was concepted as "C meets Oberon", but what it borrowed from Oberon was its simplicity, and it hasn't kept nearly as many Wirthian quirks as Nim)
