Yes, and I think the reason why Nim got so much attention was because it filled the niche of metaprogramming in a statically-typed, AOT language, which is probably the last frontier of mutability and metaprogramming. It's probably the last major new language with metaprogramming front and center we'll see for a very long time.
Honestly, I don't think I'll ever create my own general-purpose language precisely _because_ I already know languages that are perfectly tailored to my use. If I start thinking of "what would my dream language look like", I start mentally re-creating Python. And sometimes, I might be in a different mood, and I'll think "wait, I'll make a statically-typed, AOT version of Python that I can use as a systems programming language instead of C/C++", and I end up mentally re-creating Nim, even to the point of going "well, I'll borrow the static typing part from Modula-3 because Modula-3 is cool and Python has a lot of Modula-3 in it already...", which is basically what Nim did.
