   It isn't exactly accurate. Rust is more like c++ and Nim is more like python+c+pascal. But yeah "The future looks good."

   The benefits of Nim over Python are not at the ecosystem level yet, it is at the language level. Nim is not exactly related to Python as TypeScript is to JS. Nim provides a lot of features like compile-time execution, macros, c/c++&#x2

   The main reason people prefer python is because of the vast ecosystem. Hopefully Nim will reach there someday. Anyways for a lot of things Nim is pretty good actually and I would recommend people to atleast try it.
