I don't see how Nimrod is a natural evolution of Python. Static types and meta-programming by templates are far from anything Python proposes. I believe not even the syntax comparison applies too much, it's syntax is more reminiscent of Pascal than Python itself.
As someone who has spent much of the last decade or so writing Python, I mostly disagree. The pain points I've had with python (speed, mainly) are well catered to by Nimrod. I agree that it's not "pythonic" in some ways, but the feeling is very similar. The wtfs/line ratio is very low.
I guess you meant "what I wanted Python to be".
