Nim (https://nim-lang.org/ https://nim-lang.org/) is a fast, compiled language that is as easy to use as Python. It doesn't have the same ecosystem or user-base of Python though, although Python and Nim can be bridged via nimpy.
- mordechai9000 5y agoI've been itching to pick up a new language, and Nim is high on the list of choices. But I'm leaning towards Rust, just because it has more recognition and a more evolved ecosystem.
- jasfi 5y agoThe small ecosystem is Nim's downfall for now, sadly. It really is a much easier language to learn and write in. I'm working on some Nim modules which will be Open Sourced soon. This will provide a web framework with an ORM. It will be a batteries-included framework. It will also easily plug-in to a Flutter powered front-end engine which can use Nim defined back-end UI code (not just Nim actually). Also to be Open Sourced soon.

- ajot 5y agoA very fine and useful project written in Nim is Nitter, a super fast, no-JS, reading-only Twitter frontend.
