Nim looks awesome I'm going to try soon
Something driving me nuts though: a year or two again I heard of another language very like nim. I remember it's web site saying "compiles to ISO C" and being mostly white. Now I cannot find it.
Maybe it was nim, but I don't think so. Is anyone aware of any language like this? I tried trolling through all the programming language on wikipedia and wasted a lot of time and found some interesting stuff (like nim) but not this language.
Am I crazy or can anyone help me?
Thanks, Britton
Maybe Zimbu programming language? It is writing by Bram Moolenaar ( the guy that made Vim ). It has several similarities. www.zimbu.org
There are a lot of new programming languages out there, but most have no attention at all. A bit like Nim lol
Sometimes i wish that people like him simply join with the nim development. So development can be faster & gain more attention. Go really has been overtaking the market a bit too much to my liking.

Crystal uses llvm, it does not generate C directly. (Yes I know, llvm can generate C code.) I think Zimbu was the correct answer, I had never heard about it before. It's syntax is really a bit strange, no { for block start, but } for block end.
