    As readable and powerful as Python but as fast as C, with no reliance on a VM. The language is a beautiful beast.

    Said about Nim (programming language) as an alternative

    Syntax is same but speed is greater than Python. Only draw back is, that Nim has a minimal support for object oriented programming. Module system is horrible. Compiler wants us to write all the code in single file. If you are using file A and it is importing something from file B. But this file B is also importng something from file A, that means mutual imports. In that case, you can't compile.

    Based off of Python, similar modules system, and indention based. Probably the best alternative!
