@juancarlospaco Nim should try, but I don't agree with the "typescript sucks" 
thing. Typescript's system/features are a much bigger inovation than 
coffeescript's syntax sugar(coffeescript was cool tho!). You can't just strap 
on a haskell-like type system on vanilla JavaScript and expect it to be usable, 
a lot of the typescript decisions are smart and make sense.

This actually works in Nim's favour: as it's easier to automap those typings to 
Nim types and reuse a lot of this effort.
