With the difference that Nim has the potential to become a native 
Python with all that's involved, i.e. rich ecosystem a la Python. 
But I think it can become much more than that. If you can compile 
it to C libs then it can become part of many things (mobile, 
embedded, gaming etc.)

Personally, I'd love to see scientists and the like to use Nim 
instead of Python so you can use their code for production (more 
or less) immediately.
