I've investigated whether or not Nim could have Python2 compatibility mode. I think Nim or any language's future could easily be secured by simply finding a way to carry on compatibility with Python2. I've wanted to offer the libre source community another path forward from CPython2.7.
Such a huge opening there for multiple parties. Unfortunately, in my research in figuring out how to do this I found that it's actually fairly difficult to provide CPython2 compatibility.
I do wish Nim the best and hope that it gains traction. More languages, more choices are always better.
