|
Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language.
|
|
|
|
It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python,
|
|
|
|
Ada and Modula.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
