I just "discovered" programming language Nim. Has anyone tried it? Any reviews? Looks very interesting.

Seeing some examples on RosettaCode, it certainly doesn't look bad, but isn't
radical/high level enough to replace Lisp/Scheme/Tcl/FORTH/etc..., nor is it
simple enough (syntax, concept numbers, GC) to replace C. Looks like another
"jack of all trades, master of none" Python-like lang, to me.

I don't like the Pythonish syntax, but you can hack a quite efficient
executable in very short time, so I think that it probably will always
be a lesser-known competitor to Go and nothing more.
