An anonymous reader writes: Nim is a young, statically typed programming language that has been getting more attention recently. See for example What is special about Nim, What makes Nim practical and How I Start: Nim. The language offers a syntax inspired by Python and Pascal, great performance and C interfacing, and most powerful metaprogramming capabilities.
