Well RPython (what pixie is built on) is C...so you get quite a bit of reach there. And I'd be tempted to say that it would be easier to adapt the existing RPython PPC backend to Freescale PPC than it would be to get Nim to play nice with Clojure semantics.
And let's not forget, RPython can be fast....super fast. Stuff like transducers are slow on non-JIT'ed platforms, work well on JITs like the JVM, and absolutely scream on tracing JITs (like RPython's JITs) Anyway, just some thoughts.
