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. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/</bugs-to> + <remote-id type="github">nim-lang/Nim</remote-id> + </upstream> </pkgmetadata> |
