Note that this won't currently run on embedded devices. The ARC GC release with Nim 1.2.0 could be really useful on embedded processors the Async story hasn't been ported and contains cycles which leak memory. It works great ... until you OutOfMemory and it resets. The Nim core team is working on it. :-)
Still IMHO, Nim has a lot of potential on embedded devices. I've been using it to augment some C code I'm using on an ESP32 and it integrates pretty smoothly. It's enjoyable to write Nim code and I can do hacky C-like tricks with pointers if I need to which is great. Writing C isn't to bad until you want to just have some generics and containers like lists and hashes. C++ has them of course, but personally just to much headache for me.
