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