script style languages specifically designed with modern concepts and to be highly performant.

V8 is likely the fastest interpreter (javascript) for a script style language but these languages should be a step above and beyond v8 in terms of performance.

Nim is not a "script style language". By default it compiles to C, and the generated C sources are then compiled with gcc or clang, etc.

As it says on nim-lang.org, "Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language".

I know. But the syntax is still script style. The syntax is more closer to Python then it is to C++.
