A new Nim blog post/announcement has been posted!

The Nim team is proud and happy to announce Nim version 2.0.

This is an evolution (not revolution) of Nim, bringing ORC memory management as a default, along with many other new features and improvements.

Nim is a programming language that is good for everything, but not for everybody. It focusses on the imperative programming paradigm and enhances it with a macro system. Its customizable memory management makes it well suited for unforgiving domains such as hard realtime systems and system programming in general.
