Nim is a general-purpose programming language inspired by Python, C++ and Lisp. Its most important features are type and resource safety, meta programming and combining readability with syntactic convenience.
Learning a programming language is a huge time investment. Why should you learn Nim?
Nim rewards you with a single coherent language that can be used for everything and it works well on everything: It runs on virtually every operating system and on web browsers, as well as on tiny embedded devices and even on GPUs. Nim's complexity is still very manageable, this book tries to cover Nim completely in less than 300 pages.
Some describe Nim as a "better Python with types, macros and C's speed". But please dive in and be the judge!
Nim is awesome, and this book is thorough and provides a great overview. I hope Nim gains more traction over the next few years and makes its way into (more?) production systems.
