Hi folks, including Andreas and the other language founders (I hope you read 
this post)!

Since Nim can talk to C libraries, is there some easy way to have a Nim program 
use SciKit-learn?

Let me see if I can describe how much growth in popularity this might create 
for Nim...facts:

  * Python with SciKit-learn is the most popular combination in the data 
science world for machine learning.
  * Python is slow.
  * Nim syntax is very much similar to Python and should be an easy learn.
  * Nim is fast, so presumably Nim + SciKit-learn would be very fast PLUS easy 
to learn for all the people who already know Python + SciKit-learn.



I'd say that being able to use compiled Nim code with SciKit-learn could be the 
thing that pushes Nim over the top in terms of recognition and popularity, just 
like data science is one of the main reasons Python is so popular.

I'm a casual programmer myself, so I'm not skilled enough at programming to 
know how to construct this...does it require a Nim library or package to use 
seamlessly? Is there documentation on how to create the necessary package?

Thanks and regards! Dave Sisk, MS in Data Science & Data Architect
