Nim Architecture Guide: scope

This site is an Architecture Guide, not a replacement for the official Nim reference. It organizes the design rationale and practical trade-offs that tend to be scattered across manuals, blog posts, forums, and issue trackers.

It is organized around five themes: Why Nim?, Inside Nim, Nim vs X, Nim in Practice, and Nim Ecosystem Watch. The core model is:

Nim source → parser / AST / semantic analysis
→ macro expansion / generic instantiation
→ backend (C / C++ / Objective-C / JavaScript)

Future sections will cover tutorials, types, memory, compile-time programming, FFI, standard library, GUI, web, systems, ecosystem, practice, source reading, roadmap, FAQ, and glossary. Use official documentation for exhaustive language semantics and version-specific behavior.
