Love the post. Were you thinking of Nim [1]? It recently benchmarked close to C++ in speed [2] and it will assuredly continue gaining ground.

    import rdstdin, strutils

    let
      time24 = readLineFromStdin("Enter a 24-hour time: ").split(':').map(parseInt)
      hours24 = time24[0]
      minutes24 = time24[1]
      flights: array[8, tuple[since: int,
                              depart: string,
                              arrive: string]] = [(480, "8:00 a.m.", "10:16 a.m."),
