You say it’s a compiler just because it targets C? Doesn’t the fact it can be translated to python make it a transpiler?

It’s not memory management if you have a gg really.

Overall very cool, will try it out.

I dont understand if you want Manual or GC memory management,
but you can do both on Nim.

I dont say it’s a compiler because it targets C,
theres compilers that wont target C, is compiler because it is,
you can say its a Transpiler for the JavaScript target yeah,
but for others is a compiler, whatsoever thats just wording :P

It compiles to native Python, like Cython,
not Python source code, that would be slow,
one of the benefits of Nim is the high efficiency of the generated code.
