Indeed.. I'll probably write a Nim version as I prefer a single binary and not rely on having a JVM, Node, Python etc.. VM and associated libraries pre-installed.

I think its fair to rely on Python for Linux Distros. Ubuntu/Debian/Redhat all bundle python with the distro.

Where-as the JVM & Nodejs are generally seperate packages.

Java 9 though, allows you to ship zero-dep golang style binaries [1].

Nim beginner here. I wanted to see if I was capable of making an equivalent program in Nim. I'm still a bit confused about some of Nim's conventions and idioms, mostly revolving around when to use objects vs. ref objects, and how to properly construct an object. Care to take a look at my code and give me some pointers (heh)?
