I am intrigued by Nim. Does it have a REPL though? I think an official REPL (not a third party hack) is mandatory for scientific/numerical computing. Ocaml is the only compiled language I can think of which has a credible REPL, officially supported.

It currently does not have a REPL, and that is its main limitation right now. I think it is still suitable for more complex workflows where you would not do it in the REPL anyway - think training a large neural network. I hope something will come after 1.0 is out...

Some other (somewhat similar) compiled languages with official REPLs include: - F# - Scala - Haskell (repl is a little different compared to regular code)
