Best ways to make your first contribution to Nim language
Concise and readable, small binaries, fast compile times, native performance, zero-overhead interop lets you reuse code in C, C++, JS, Objective-C, Python... Does a programming language have these fantastic features? Of course, Nim language does have the features I have been dreaming about. And what is the goal of Nim language? Simply put, the goal is "one language to rule them all", from shell scripting to web frontend and backend, scientific computing, deep learning, blockchain client, gamedev, embedded.
