  Where can I find information about Nim architecture? Information on how the Nim language manages memory? Per example, how much RAM processing does Nim applications spend? Is there any benchmark?

  Context

  I'm a big enthusiast of the Nim programming language and I want to know everything about the Nim programming language: from the architecture, the way it manages memory, everything!

  1. Awesome.
  2. Ask questions here, on irq, read the docs, read the various books and tutorials, many listed here: https://nim-lang.org/documentation.html

  3)

  http://zevv.nl/nim-memory/ is an incredible resource. with seqsv2, destructors, and arc/orc, its in need of an update, but still highly recommended.

  https://nim-lang.org/docs/destructors.html Destructors and Move Semantics for the more recent developments.

  Read the Source.

  Seriously, it's the most authoritative guide.

  4. How long is a piece of string?

  "Nim has not much context with C. It's Modula 3 with Python's syntax and Lisp's macro system"
