Dont know why you have been downvoted, because this is a kind of "pascal rebirth - the mission".

Of course it borrow some things from Python.. but i dont know why this has to be bad. When i was a kid pascal was a thing.. and my first hello worlds were programmed in it (away from C), then in my teens, Delphi was a thing, relearn to program in it, and it kept me away from Visual Basic (ohh-hay)

Pascal/Delphi was so fun to program with (thanks Hejlsberg!), but somehow the tech world turned into this C syntax dominated world, because of the popularity of the Unix..

And i must say, playing a little bit with Nim, it make me feel that again.. the joy of programming..

And i've always feel Python kind of nasty, i confess, not very easy to read the code.. like a messy code comming from a five year old.. but Nim doesnt have that feel.. it feels like pascal in the old days.. pretty serious but also fun and pragmatic!
