We are creating the Nim programming language (<a href="https://nim-lang.org/">https://nim-lang.org/</a>) which combines a nice Python-like syntax with static typing and the performance of native code.<br>
<br>
<strong>Efficient</strong>
<ul>
	<li> Nim generates native dependency-free executables, not dependent on a virtual machine, which are small and allow easy redistribution.
	</li>
	<li>  The Nim compiler and the generated executables support all major platforms like Windows, Linux, BSD and Mac OS X.
	</li>
	<li> Fast deferred reference counting memory management that supports real-time systems
	</li>
	<li> 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.
	</li>
	<li> Support for various backends: it compiles to C, C++ or JavaScript so that Nim can be used for all backend and frontend needs.
	</li>
</ul>

<strong>Expressive</strong>
<ul>
	<li> Nim is self contained: the compiler and all of the standard library are implemented in Nim.
	</li>
	<li> Nim has a powerful macro system which allows direct manipulation of the AST, offering nearly unlimited opportunities.
	</li>
</ul>
<h1></h1>
<strong>Elegant</strong>
<ul>
	<li> Macros cannot change Nim's syntax because there is no need for it — the syntax is flexible enough.
	</li>
	<li> Modern type system with local type inference, tuples, variants, generics, etc.
	</li>
	<li> Statements are grouped by indentation but can span multiple lines.
	</li>
</ul>
