## nim-0.16.0p0 – statically typed, imperative programming language

## Description

    Nim is a statically typed, imperative programming language that tries
    to give the programmer ultimate power without compromises on runtime
    efficiency. This means it focuses on compile-time mechanisms in all
    their various forms.

    Beneath a nice infix/indentation based syntax with a powerful (AST
    based, hygienic) macro system lies a semantic model that supports a soft
    realtime GC on thread local heaps. Asynchronous message passing is used
    between threads, so no "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An
    unsafe shared memory heap is also provided for the increased efficiency
    that results from that model.
