I have been following Nim and Racket and it really looks like Racket has been gaining more and more momentum. Really it is a Win/Win both do great things that might be able to fix some of the weakness of Python.

The thing that can't be overstated with Nim is how fast it is. We're talking C/C++ level performance - and that's on "normal" code, not some abomination with tons of annotations or other cheats. It's also very unlike Rust in that it's a very low ceremony language. Simple scripts are no more verbose than they would be in Python or Ruby.
