Nim is a systems and applications programming language. Statically typed and compiled, it provides unparalleled performance in an elegant package.
>> High-performance garbage-collected language (can turn off) >> Compiles to C, C++ or JavaScript >> Produces dependency-free binaries >> Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more
Literally compiles to C so all existing libraries already work. It's as expressive as python and performance as C!

Also, a book was written as well: Nim in Action

alright I'm in, how do I convince my manager to migrate all our stuff to nim?

Show me, it literally fucking compiles to C and then you compile it with gcc or whatever you want

Rewrite the entire code base in secret and your time off

and what do you think compiles to a more efficient binary? the culsterfuckistan c code produced by this garbage or actual, hand written c/
October 3, 2017 - 10:15
the culsterfuckistan c code , obviously

Have you even seen the C output? Literally the most cleanest output I've ever seen in my life.

Machine generated C is less likely to have 'clever' programming tricks and unnecessary abstractions which screw with the optimizer.

M8 I can literally compile Brainfuck to C, but that doesn't mean that it'll have the speed of C

I actually wrote a few Nim libraries and use it at work.

I posted a link, but I think I replied to the wrong person.

>garbage-collected language
I agree; it should be collected by the garbage can.

yea what a fucking faggot. i removed the semicolon key from my keyboard because i have no use for it
October 3, 2017 - 14:05
I'm ready to learn this new, kawaii language
October 3, 2017 - 17:00
lol who cares about this nobody language just use go
October 3, 2017 - 17:04
This actually seems promising
