I always thought of Python as being a massive language. If it was simple, it should be easy to compile and optimize.
I mean, I would feel like an idiot when someone would point out a feature that makes Python code faster. Python classes are quite massive and complicated (with a bunch of tweaks one can do through attributes).
Nim's GC is optional - you can switch it off and do manual memory management, if you want.
There's also no need to use any of the language features that you don't want?

The language that is missing is a simple language that can work well with C or C++, compiles fast, is easy to read, has a good lib, etc.
There are not enough non-GC languages that are statically compiled.
I really, really want a pythonic, statically compiled language. I don't want templates, OOP, abstract stuff, just A C-like language, more readable, with good syntactic sugar. My dream is that there would be as much time money and effort spent on python, than was spent en js engine like v8 and spidermonkey.
There are barriers that make python not really viable everywhere, and I wish it would not be the case.
