I started with them a couple times, and will try again. The first time, after several years of working with Python, I missed the dynamic data structures like lists and dictionaries. Open arrays work pretty well, but Pascal still requires a lot of overhead to set things up compared to `d = {}`. The next time I got a bit further with it, but I remember everything being just slightly different enough that I had to dig for examples and documentation to do simple things I used to do easily in Delphi. I think I got some of my old graphics programs working but there was enough friction that I lost interest and moved on. But its worth giving it another shot since I have a lot of old Pascal code I'd like to play with again, and knowing about these difficulties going in I might do a better job next time. What I like about Nim is the terse syntax similar to Python, and the more dynamic data structures like sequence, but also the typing similar to Pascal and the compiling to executable thanks to C. I like the V language too for its batteries-included nature, but haven't gotten far enough with it yet to tell if I will stick with it. The docs are a good start, but they only have Discord for a community and that is hard to work with.
