Use nim for personal projects. It feels like there is less boilerplate than others I've tried and it felt more natural to me than python. Faster than python and compiles. Plus has a javascript backend option. Pretty neat language all in all and does an ok job from scripting to web.

Interest in trying? Probably Kotlin. Seems like another language with wide utility.

I've only heard of nim thanks to the discourse around Mojo, i'll check it out !

The community is most active on their Discord, in case you kick the tires and have questions.

How is nim related to mojo?

There is a perspective that Nim kinda sorta writes/looks like a compiled Python. It also seems to get mentioned everywhere.

Yeah, it's kind of a pascal/modula/ada thing with a more python like syntax. It does have a really nice typesystem that I enjoy a lot :)

Wow, I wasn't expecting to find another nim user here, It's what I use as well, and it's just a very fun and nice language to work in :)
