Nim¶

Efficient, expressive language with Python-like syntax

Overview¶

Nim is a statically typed compiled language that combines the efficiency of C with the expressiveness of Python. It compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript.

Language Aliases¶

run nim "echo \"Hello\""
run nimlang "echo \"Hello\""
# Output: Hello (x2)

Multi-line Code: Use Heredoc

For multi-line code, use heredoc (<< 'EOF') to avoid shell quoting and escaping issues.

REPL Behavior¶

Nim's REPL maintains state across commands. Variables, functions, and imports persist within the same REPL session.

Start the REPL with run nim, then type commands at the nim>>> prompt:

❯ run nim
run universal REPL. Type :help for commands.
nim>>> var age: int = 25
nim>>> age
25
nim>>>
