Nim is a statically-typed, imperative, systems programming language; aiming to achieve the performance of C, be as expressive as Lisp, and have a simple, clear syntax like Python. I have to say, from my experience Nim manages to ***pretty much*** fit these criterion.

The summary of this first-in-series article, is most definitely one of surprise. I already knew that Crystal was a highly-performant language, and I have previously done my own research & testing to see how close to *C speeds* it could achieve. That being said, I was *also* already aware that Nim **claims** close to C speeds, and that one of the language's principals was to run well on old & less-performant hardware.

Yet, Crystal beat not only my own expectations; but beat Nim for both memory usage **AND** execution times. I really didn't expect to see Crystal come out *this* far ahead in performance. On the other hand, Nim came out by-far the leader when it comes to language interoperability. **Nim makes it even easier** than Crystal when interfacing other langs – not something I thought possible, given just how easy Crystal makes the task.
