1. Add Nim …

   [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/) is a statically typed compiled systems programming language.
   
   > Good for everything from shell scripting to web front & backend, to ML, HPC, and embedded.
   Productivity: human readable and expressive like Python, with few sigils
   Type system: strong static typing, nice generics, concepts, and type classes
   Performance: matches C and C++, always gives control to the programmer
   Portability: compiles to C, C++, and Javascript
   Native use of all libraries in target languages (no ABI issues) + really nice FFI
   Single (tiny) executable with no deps
   Write server/client in the same language and share code between front/back end
   Linux, Windows, and Mac
   Iterating: Very fast compile speed
   Top tier metaprogramming:
   Hygienic AST Macros a core part of the language, very flexible syntax
   Runs a VM of Nim at compile time giving you most of the language (bar pointers) to generate code or run procedures and store them as const
   Eg; async implemented just with macros, doesn't need special language support
   Eg; can automate building types and code from file data at compile time
