My reasons for using nim:
- Syntax is very expressive and not restrictive or bloated
(I can write clean code, almost like pseudocode, without boilerplate)
- Runs fast and has type checking something that Python lacked (until recently at least)
(When I was programming in python I was so frustrated that any variable could be used in a function call and no code is checked until it's used, Also 'nim c -r file' is faster than any Python program I have written)
- Documentation is very good nowadays, but since code was so easy to read and in nim (whereas most python code interfaces with c) I could read and understand what the standard library functions were doing, another big plus when learning.
