Many of the design-decisions are based on making it harder to shoot yourself in the foot. In Python there are no pointers (everything is treated as a reference). While Nim does give you pointers, Nim gives you other, safer tools for your everyday needs, while pointers are mostly reserved for interfacing with C and doing low-level system programming.
