If as a Python programmer you're looking for a compiled language that is similar to Python, check out Nim: https://nim-lang.org/ https://nim-lang.org/.

  There is even a library(in a very early stage) that tries to semi-automatically translate Python programs to equivalent Nim idioms: https://github.com/metacraft-labs/py2nim https://github.com/metacraft-labs/py2nim

  Since it just came up again yesterday, it's worth noting that the term "compiled language" is a tricky one to use here: https://nedbatchelder.com//blog/201803/is_python_interpreted_or_compiled_yes.html https://nedbatchelder.com//blog/201803/is_python_interpreted... So: is Python compiled? Yes. Is Python interpreted? Yes. Sorry, the world is complicated...

    I can't speak for OP but I think they are just differentiating between languages that produce an executable binary versus one that is interpreted/runs in a VM/is compiled to bytecode/whatever else

      And Nim produces a small binary with the ability to tell the GC if/when/how long to run, no need for any interpreter or VM. It targets c before final compilation.

        Okay? I wasn't talking about Nim or any language specifically.
