%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.
