> What gave you the impression that it competes with Python? Not in the specs, I mean marketing and the language surrounding it, people seems to advertise it mostly as a statically typed Python, the fact it went with indentation to appeal to Python programmer, not to C-style programmers and the fact that on the home page
> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines > successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Out of all the mainstream programming languages it put Python there the first, how much market share does Ada and Modula have together? Ada (0.34%), Modula (?) but Python (10.47%) > People had D, they now have Zig and V. I can't speak about **D** , I don't use it. **Zig** is a different creature, I follow it and program in it, and it can't replace Nim nor it's trying, it's trying to replace C. **V** I followed the development for a while, it's doing it right by appealing to Go and C-Style developers, but it's far from being production ready. Nim is production ready, this is why people have this thread, why is it not getting the momentum? well you need the mass and velocity, the mass you get with more developers using it to write their solutions and the mass leaning toward C-style, this is why I said if Nim becomes C-style, people will copy their C, Go, javascript code, modify the necessary say 30% to make it run on Nim and you have the velocity, more projects and more momentum. Could I be wrong? sure, but, think about it a little and see if it make sense.
