Why Nimpylib

It helps you to:

• use much Python-like out-of-box API in Nim:
  • with no need of any Python dependency (neither dynamic library nor binary).
  • even handy for ones who don’t use much Python but want more functions in Nim
• translate your Python program to Nim:
  • gaining a right-away speed boot of even 700x
  • no worry about binary distribution or packaging, just “compile once, distribute everywhere”
  • amazing small binary size: as of v0.9.7, for a simple print("hello world"), the produced binary is only:
    • 372K in debug
    • 176K in release
    • even 56K with size strip compile flags like -d:strip¹ on MacOS.
  • rid of many annoying runtime-errors (which are turned to compile-time error)
• gain a better view into different behaviors between Python and Nim:
  • dynamically-typed vs statically-typed
  • unconvertible syntax from Python to Nim, e.g. end keyword, not in syntax
