I tried it and it is easy and fast. But the ecosystem is still not very large. I think that it should support building libriaries directly accessible from python including passing numpy arrays directly to nim. That would make a lot of people to jump right in creating libraries and thus extending its own ecosystem.

Something like Julia's PyCall package that allows calling arbitrary Python packages from Julia would also be great.
