Nim is excellent, I use it daily, but you'll have to define what you mean by "scripting" language :) It is very much in the school of "build a binary, run that binary", which is ideal for my usages. There is of course, support for running scripts (".nims", Nimble tasks, and so on), and one can just tell the compiler to run your binary no worries from nimcache anyway, but I still use other actual scripting languages for some tasks. Mainly bash, to be perfectly honest. That said, my view is biased, as most of what I do with it is for the "make a binary, then run the binary somewhere" school of usage patterns! Its quite possible it is a good fit for what you're after. And I adore it as a language.
