nim(programming-language)

homepage: https://nim-lang.org/

A modern Modula-2.

I switched from Python to Nim last year during my attempt of Advent of Code 2023. I never finished AoC, but Nim has remained to be one of my favourite programming languages. The "compiled Python" marketing is a big failure; it was probably done and spread by people who know barely anything about programming language design, because I cannot imagine the ones who designed Nim did it themselves.

I don't know what's the point of painting Nim as this random unknown good-for-nothing language. You see the same group of people going "UUUOOOOOHHH" about golang a few years ago when it hadn't even have generics. That's how you know this industry is shit.
