Nim is a programming language that, despite being a bit unknown to a lot of people yet, it’s growing at a decent speed. It’s a compiled, static typed, (optionally) garbage-collected, with an awesome performance, almost reaching C’s speed, while maintaining a nice and clean syntax and with a macro system that allows to modify the AST directly, offering almost unlimited possibilities.
(More information can be found here: https://nim-lang.org/ )

It would be great having this awesome tool for Nim, what do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Yup, it's a great language, wouldn't mind supporting it. Anyone from the Nim community want to write a port?

@aardappel we kind of have a fan made implementation, but it seems to be a bit outdated, (and no .fbs to .nim parser).
I might try to do it. (Can’t promise I will finish though :P )

@Albus70007 give it a go :)
For it to merge into the main repo it will need a certain level of quality though, including tests and docs etc.
