In reply to @nevillegg "is nim really good?": yes
it has powerful and easy FFI(even can do reverse FFI(calling Nim function in C))
you can do it with {.exportc.} and {.importc.}
and it is very fast, high performance(C's 90~95%, if you use --mm:none, then
100%)
and you can work with C, C++, Assmebly very easily
and you can work with web by compiling Nim to JS or WASM(you can even control
DOM)
and Nim has powerful memory safety with ORC and lent, ref, var system
and Nim support many type of programming(Procedual, OOP, functional)
and you can use very cool meta-programming like template, macro, paragma, type
and Nim has strong type safety and Nil safety too
most time, Nil is blocked(except for ref type)
and all type are checked in compile time
