I agree with the sibling comment. Nim feels much more like Python, which was the first language I used before I picked up C/C++. For better or worse I was taught Python at a young age! I have a group of related cli apps that need to do a lot of work while also polling swaths of the filesystem. In Python it would have been much, much too slow without C extensions, so I wrote them in Rust instead. There's nothing wrong with Rust, it's a fine language! But ultimately, while ownership is a clever way to do memory, I personally prefer the sheer convenience of garbage collection when I'm trying to write something that's good enough, quickly. Nim is perfect for that!
