today I don't eat fish (lol) on April 1st rewrite all that in Python ... and why not in gwbasic with the one opening on the assembler

I'm strongly opposed to that plan! While I fully agree that Nim (currently) does a lot of uncool stuff (e.g. static typing) I do not consider Python and C good choices. Instead of Python we should be bold and directly walk into where the future is: AI based image interpretation instead of Python

Writing performant code in C these days? How absolutely immoral! Have you considered our lord and saviour Rust? /s Also, I love this part: "The perfomance critical parts inside the Nim compiler are probably: The lexer, the parser, the semantic checker, the overloading resolution mechanism, the

All of NIM will be rewritten in Python or only machine learning part? Isn't rewriting all of the language into another language waste of time rather than spending it on improving either the language or the ecosystem?

So, this is something that we've considered for a while now, after all these years writing production code in Nim, we long for Python's lack of static checking; in the end there is always a Nim code snippet that tests the part of the Nim compiler we touched anyway, the static type system doesn't
