DESCRIPTION
Nim is a new general-purpose programming language that offers
support for systems programming, object oriented programming,
procedural programming, functional programming, and more. Nim
combines the speed of C with the expressiveness of Python and the
flexibility of Lisp and it compiles to C as well as C++, Objective C,
and even JavaScript.

Nim''s features make it perfect for developing

anything from web applications to operating systems.
Nim in Action introduces the Nim programming language and teaches readers how to write native software applications and libraries, web
applications, embedded device software, and programs that
communicate over the internet.

This book is full of hands-on examples
that teach how to test, debug, document, and package Nim
applications. It also reveals how to interface with foreign languages
such as C and C++ and how to use metaprogramming features to write
domain specific languages.

This book demonstrates how to implement
a fully-functioning chat server, a Twitter clone, and many other
software projects. It provides readers with a solid knowledge of Nim
and the ability to use it to write powerful, portable and efficient
applications.
 
KEY FEATURES
• Teaches how to write portable and efficient applications in Nim
• Written by one of the main contributors to the Nim language
• Lots of practical, real world examples
• Full of hands on code samples and projects
• Compile to C, C++, Objective C, and even JavaScript
AUDIENCE
This book assumes you’re a working developer proficient with another
language like Java, Ruby, Python, C#, or C++.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Nim is a new programming language that allows developers to write
efficient software using a compiler, which produces native binaries with
zero dependencies via compilation to the C programming language.

It is the
only programming language which combines the speed of C with the
expressiveness of Python and the flexibility of Lisp.
