## Overview
## A lighter, high performing Ethereum client
Nimbus is a client implementation for both Ethereum's consensus layer (eth2) and execution layer (eth1) that strives to be as lightweight as possible in terms of resources used. This allows it to perform well on embedded systems, embedded devices -- including Raspberry Pis and mobile devices.
However, **resource-restricted hardware is not the only thing Nimbus is good for.** Its low resource consumption makes it **easy to run Nimbus together with other workloads on your server** (this is especially valuable for stakers looking to lower the cost of their server instances).
## Programming language
[Nim](https://nim-lang.org/) is an efficient, general-purpose systems programming language with a Python-like syntax that compiles to C. Nim allows us to implement Ethereum rapidly and take advantage of the mature C-language tooling: in compilation of machine code, and in the analysis of static code.

We believe the ability to run a node on resource-restricted hardware is key to a safe and secure Ethereum going forward.
As such, **Nimbus strives to perform just as well on resource-restricted hardware as it does on desktop computers and servers.**
As such, **Nimbus strives to perform just as well on resource-restricted hardware as it does on desktop computers and servers** as is evidenced by thousands of solo stakers running Nimbus on local hardware and several larger institutional node operators running thousands of validators on enterprise-grade servers with Nimbus.
