Actually, I had some time to play around with Nim and it really 
"feels" like Python. I was thinking if they had an automatic 
Python to Nim converter (like Kotlin has a Java to Kotlin 
converter), it'd be much easier to make the transition. It'd be 
great to be able to do something like this: `nim pyToNim file.py 
file.nim`.
