Nim seems to be targeting the space between Python and Go, which is wide open for disruption. (Also touches at the edges of managed memory systems-y light languages like Java/C#.)
Python is a dynamically typed cowboy land and is painfully slow for many applications. People want types, speed, and fixes for decades of baggage, but they like Python ergonomics.
Go until recently lacked generics (it still doesn't have full generics), has bad error handling, and other weird features.
Rust and Swift also seem to be interested in this space. Rust can be heavy. Swift too Apple-centric.
Nim is doing a good job and is growing at a steady clip.
