With all due respect, Nim is a great language performance wise however I fail to see how is it different from D. Many advertised features have been present in D for a long time.

Syntax wise Nim it is a step back. It's hard to read and understand while any C/C++ dev will have next to no effort reading through D code. And of course while D is C ABI compliant it interoperates with C++ well too.

I seriously doubt that Nim or any other language in this regard has better metaprogramming than D.

Nim might have a speed overhead in certain tasks but that depends on a benchmark. Besides, does Nim have anything similar to NumPy which is actually faster? D does.
