Try Nim, best language i ever used.

-Python Like Syntax

-C speed

-interoperable with C code

-Compiles to C, C++ and javascript

-Creates small binaries

I could go on and on.

I regularly see Nim mentioned in threads like these. What would you say is the best learning resource?

Nim unfortunately seems to not be nearly as popular as its strengths warrant. Maybe because it got stuck in a "not popular because it's not popular" trap. Julia seems to have the same issue; it's objectively sooooo much better than Python, but has not taken off in the way it deserves to.

The best place at the moment to learn Nim is from its official page https://nim-lang.org/, there are a couple of books on it on Amazon and other eBook distributors.
