+It helps you to:
+- use much Python-like out-of-box API in Nim:
+  - with no need of any Python dependency (neither dynamic library nor binary).
+  - even handy for ones who don't use much Python but want more functions in Nim
+- translate your Python program to Nim:
+  - gaining a right-away speed boot of even 700x
+  - no worry about binary distribution or packaging, just "compile once, distribute everywhere"
+  - rid of many annoying runtime-errors (which are turned to compile-time error)
+- gain a better view into different behaviors between Python and Nim:
+  - `dynamically-typed` vs `statically-typed`
+  - unconvertible syntax from Python to Nim, e.g.
+    [`end` keyword](https://github.com/nimpylib/pylib/blob/master/doc/mustRewriteExtern/endKeyword.md),
+    [`not in` syntax](https://github.com/nimpylib/pylib/blob/master/doc/mustRewriteExtern/not-in.md)
