> Would it be a useful language for a python developer to learn Does he only know python? If so I'd say yes, Nim looks like Python but it's semantics are quite different and it performance a lot better. Also Nim <-> Python interop is nice too. Besides what eindiran said, your friend could also take a quick peek at: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Nim-for-Python-Programmers https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Nim-for-Python-Programm... and for numerical stuff Nim's ecosystem is quite young for it but people are working hard on it: https://github.com/HugoGranstrom/numericalnim https://github.com/HugoGranstrom/numericalnim I'd say go for it!
