From your post I was under the impression it was a super-set of python, or was compiling down or up to python ( what a weird thing that would be )

I'm getting older, I remember when Python was the new cool perfect language on the block, but that no real job existed using it. Specially outside of tech hotspot before remote.

Well, I think python has been consistent at no sucking too much. And it payed off. Slowly but surely it took hold on the job market, captured data-science overnight.. and voila.

Language are less of an 'blocker' it seams. with infrastructure being a commodity, and polyglot microservices being trendy... nobody care what your API is made off.

So don't loose hope on Nim. ( and it does look really neat, but I promess myself to digg more into Elm before try out something else )
