The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.

Deeplearning in Nim?
While indeed we are less people developing stuff in Nim compared to even the Julia community (which itself is of course much smaller than say Python), we do have cover a large amount of the typical needs in the scientific computing domain. And where we miss stuff it's a) easy to wrap C/C++ or b) simply call Julia, R or Python (As a personal reference I'm doing data analysis & numerical physics stuff in context of my PhD in physics and I literally do everything in Nim. The only significant C dependency {and only as a shared lib} I depend on is libhdf5 via nimhdf5).

Stan in Nim?
use Rnim to access the R bindings

Anyone attempted to make Nim serve R's role? How is it currently?
If you're willing to help out, you'll surely be able to do anything you need. If Nim libraries fail, you can also always call R directly from Nim via Rnim!

Generate Python extensions using Nim language
Maybe also of interest is a nascent package for R calling Nim (or vice versa): https://github.com/SciNim/rnim

What would you like to see from an R2 / R++ / R#
I am risking to be offtopic, but there is somenthing interesting happening in Nim, where someone wrote a wrapper to R: https://github.com/SciNim/rnim
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cinterop and rnim you can also consider the following projects:
c2nim - c2nim is a tool to translate Ansi C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand before and after the translation process.
genny - Generate a shared library and bindings for many languages.
nimporter - Compile Nim Extensions for Python On Import!
jnim - Nim - Java bridge
nimpy - Nim - Python bridge
nimjl - A bridge between Nim-lang and Julia !
Datamancer - A dataframe library with a dplyr like API
futhark - Automatic wrapping of C headers in Nim
nimLUA - glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro
stan - Stan development repository. The master branch contains the current release. The develop branch contains the latest stable development. See the Developer Process Wiki for details.
