What really seems to characterize Nim is its ability to be used as glue language between different codes. C/C++/objective-c/javascript interoperability is native, python interoperability seems to be pretty good. It makes me think a lot to python before it exploded in popularity with machine learning and education

I started using python around 2005 and Nim does have that feel of early python. Nothing was set in stone and the fields were open. Lots of optimism.

Yeah definitely. Unlike Python though it's fast and light on memory, so once you have a prototype it's often already performant enough to be developed into a final product. Things like that save a lot of time and money in the long run.
