I have a Node.js program and a nim program. When a nim procedure is called, it triggers the js script with input as argument. How do I get back the output to nim?

It depends. What is your backend for the nim code? Can you give an example?

It basically executes the command node script.js It isn't complete yet. I just wanted to know the basic idea behind communication between languages

Like in any other language node script.js -param1 -param2 etc.

But if you want to pass data from client to server, you do that with Ajax or RESTful service.

I figured out the same too. But is there any other–a more straightforward way to do this?

Thanks

Take a look at solutions like nanomsg, redis pubsub, zeromq.

Sockets are the default way to do interprocess communication, use them or any abstraction on top like those @bobalus mentioned.
