Having had only the briefest of looks at Nim (the last 60 seconds), it seems most comparable to Go - correct? Anyone more clued up feel like contrasting the two?

I'd say go is to c as nim is to Pascal would be one approximation. But that doesn't really do justice to nim's power in the form of meta/compile time programming and such.

I had the impression Nim was Python in fast.

Some of the syntax is similar, but similarities end there. Nim was inspired by many languages: Modula 3, Delphi, Ada, C++, Python, Lisp, Oberon, C# and Pascal.
