Nim is statically typed systems and applications programming language which offers some of the most powerful metaprogramming capabilities. It is the next iteration of imperative language design and aims to dethrone C/C++ for high performance coding - among its rivals are Rust and D. Nim is also perfectly suited for software typically written in C#, Java, JavaScript, etc. - basically all types of software. Nim can bridge the gap between business logic and high performance, sprinkling improved developer productivity on top. Nim is compiled to C/C++ (and JavaScript among others) and thus interoperability is straightforward and without any performance penalties - lots of existing C/C++ software can be reused and built upon.
