Version 1.0 released of Nim Programming Language

Indeed. They had a (basically not working) REPL as well which was removed. It’s a language a lot like Julia, but they pulled out the (hard) interactive pieces and the specialization features to make the language much simpler. FWIW, it’s really good at what it does and I can see this really appealing to some audiences. Not scientific computing, since it’s missing a lot of the things that I need for example, but it would be a good Julia alternative for embedded code (since it compiles to C).
