| 33 |
+ Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. |
| 34 |
+ It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, |
| 35 |
+ Ada and Modula. |
| 36 |
+ Nim generates native dependency-free executables, not dependent on a |
| 37 |
+ virtual machine, which are small and allow easy redistribution. |
| 38 |
+ The Nim compiler and the generated executables support all major platforms |
| 39 |
+ like Windows, Linux, BSD and macOS. |
| 40 |
+ Nim's memory management is deterministic and customizable with destructors |
| 41 |
+ and move semantics, inspired by C++ and Rust. It is well-suited for |
| 42 |
+ embedded, hard-realtime systems. |
| 43 |
+ Modern concepts like zero-overhead iterators and compile-time evaluation of |
| 44 |
+ user-defined functions, in combination with the preference of value-based |
| 45 |
+ datatypes allocated on the stack, lead to extremely performant code. |
| 46 |
+ Support for various backends: it compiles to C, C++ or JavaScript so that |
| 47 |
+ Nim can be used for all backend and frontend needs. |
| 48 |
+ Nim is self-contained: the compiler and the standard library are |
| 49 |
+ implemented in Nim. |
| 50 |
+ Nim has a powerful macro system which allows direct manipulation of the |
| 51 |
+ AST, offering nearly unlimited opportunities. |
| 52 |
+ Macros cannot change Nim's syntax because there is no need for it — the |
| 53 |
+ syntax is flexible enough. |
| 54 |
+ Modern type system with local type inference, tuples, generics and sum |
| 55 |
+ types. |
| 56 |
+ Statements are grouped by indentation but can span multiple lines. |
