Resources

The Nim community is not very large, but it’s active and friendly.

• Nim learning resources from the Official website
  • Nim, an short tutorial (Part 1 and Part 2)
• Nim basics: an excellent resource for beginners
• Nim by examples, a series of short snippets to show the basics
• Nim notes, a very long page on most Nim’s features
• 📙 Nim in action, a well written book, unfortunately not updated to the last version

Of course, StackOverflow can be used to ask questions on Nim, too.

I strongly suggest having a look at the paper by Brent Pedersen and the blog post by Heng Li: they provide a good insight on the benefits of Nim for bioinformatics:
