That looks amazing. One would expect it to be slower given all of the interesting language features.

I've been wanting to learn one of the up and coming languages (Rust, D, Go, etc.). Would Nim be a good choice?

If you write C/C++ for a living but want a nicer syntax and better language features, then yes, absolutely. If you're looking for a specific niche, then it depends. I'm personally more excited about Rust than Nim, but I also don't do much systems programming these days, so I don't have a specific purpose in mind.

Why are you more excited about Rust?

Probably depends on what software you would like to develop and what languages you already know and enjoy.

Well I've been writing Python for quite a while and I'm currently getting into both Scala and JS/Node.
