Note, my initial suggestion was

"Nim combines successful concepts from mature language like Python, Ada and 
Modula with a few sounding features of latest research."

Unfortunately they discarded the last part, I think to fit it all to one page.

But I have copied all my advertisings to my book:

[http://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html](http://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html)

Section

[http://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html#_nim_has_a_encouraging_future](http://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html#_nim_has_a_encouraging_future)

is maybe too much advertising, maybe I will remove that.

The fact that you do not know Modula and Ada is not that great, Modula was an 
important milestone in development of languages, it was the successor of Pascal 
and introduced the module concept around 1980 which current C++ is still 
missing. And Ada, designed by a committee it may be a bit ugly, but it has been 
improved and is still used in critical areas like aircraft.

All languages built on each other in a way, each new languages has learned from 
previous ones and tries to avoid their mistakes.

I guess even V-Lang will not claim to be something revolutionary new?

And Rust -- it is indeed a better C++, and has a large company behind it and 
much hype.
