Part 1. The basics of Nim

This part of the book begins your study of the Nim programming language. It doesn’t assume you know much about Nim, so chapter 1 begins by looking at the characteristics of the language, what makes it different from other languages, and how it’s used in the real world. Chapter 2 looks at some of the most commonly used elements of any programming language—the syntax, semantics, and type system—and in doing so teaches you the necessary foundations for writing simple applications in Nim.
