Compiles toC, JavaScript
Pros
Pro Easy to integrate with another languages
You can use Nim with any language that can be interfaced with C. There's a tool which helps you to create new C and C++ bindings for Nim - c2nim. Also you can use Nim with Objective C or even JavaScript (if you're compiling for these backends).
Pro Easy as Python but fast as C and produce single executable on all platforms
