Pitch: Like Python, but faster and multicore.
At least it's the reason I tried it once.
It was not a bad experience.

However i do wonder how big the market is for "python, but faster and multicore". I suspect it is smaller than "c but safe".
With Python I can just search "python <thing>" and find popular, well-maintained, libraries to do <thing>. I can't do that with Nim. Most of the stuff I find seems to be 5-9 years old and have no updates since.
Though I'm not really sure how often that happens these days unless you're trying to write code that's using an old protocol that's fallen out of favor, like IRC, FTP, or Gopher.
The problem is that CPython was never built with efficiency in mind and now it's hard to add it.
