Nim is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, statically typed, compiled high-level systems programming language,[9] designed and developed by a team around Andreas Rumpf. Nim is designed to be "efficient, expressive, and elegant",[10] supporting metaprogramming, functional, message passing,[11] procedural, and object-oriented programming styles by providing several features such as compile time code generation, algebraic data types, a foreign function interface (FFI) with C, C++, Objective-C, and JavaScript, and supporting compiling to those same languages as intermediate representations.
