This is just a simple question. I have started looking at the nim compiler source and trying to implement my own backend for nim. Is there not documentation for the nim compiler or is it reserved for developers? I might just not have found where it is though.

Have you read Internals of the Nim Compiler?

compiler docs used to be generated for a short while until https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/13509; a few small things need to be addressed to re-enable compiler docs, which was quite helpful, eg for nim-lang.github.io/Nim/compiler/ast.html (link doesn't work anymore)
