This free online converter lets you convert code from C to Nim in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | C | Nim |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Procedural, uses braces for code blocks, semicolons to end statements, and a minimalistic, low-level syntax. | Python-like, indentation-based syntax, more modern and readable, supports advanced constructs like templates and macros. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and structured programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming. |
| Typing | Static, weak typing with manual memory management. | Static, strong typing with type inference and optional garbage collection. |
| Performance | Very high, close to hardware, minimal abstraction. | Comparable to C, compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript, with some overhead from abstractions. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive, mature ecosystem, but many libraries are low-level. | Smaller ecosystem, but can use C libraries directly; growing number of native Nim libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, established, with decades of resources and support. | Smaller, but active and growing community; less mature support. |
| Learning curve | Steep, especially due to manual memory management and low-level concepts. | Gentler, more approachable syntax and modern features, but some complexity in advanced features. |
