I wanted a very small, efficient program that anyone could run without ceremony on their machine. Nim made it very easy for me to do. It looks like Python/Ruby, runs really fast, and uses very little resources. I love Nim!

You should also check out Crystal, which had its 1.0 release earlier this year: https://crystal-lang.org/ (Although, no Windows support yet.)
