let hem keep at it. I haven't found an easy and verstile language as Python than can compile to byte code and be as fast a C ! I know it is coming anytime now despite having been waiting for over a decade.
I won't claim it's as easy as Python, but that's the rough area that Nim is aiming for. Going from dynamically typed to statically typed is always going to be kind of painful, but I've liked the language overall.
Also, we have a Nim community here, if anyone is interested: https://programming.dev/c/nim

I'm not sure it can really be as fast as C in general.
