Key differences between Nim and Lua
| Characteristic | Nim | Lua |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Python-like, indentation-based, readable and expressive with static declarations. | Simple, lightweight, C-like with minimal syntax and explicit block delimiters (end, then, etc.). |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming. | Multi-paradigm: primarily procedural, with support for functional and limited object-oriented programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference; supports both static and dynamic typing. | Dynamically typed; all variables are dynamically typed at runtime. |
| Performance | High performance; compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript, often close to C speed. | Interpreted, generally fast for a scripting language, but slower than compiled languages; LuaJIT offers significant speed improvements. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem; standard library is comprehensive, but third-party libraries are fewer compared to older languages. | Smaller standard library, but many third-party libraries, especially for game development and embedded use. |
| Community and support | Smaller but active and growing community; less mainstream support. | Established, global community; widely used in gaming, embedded systems, and scripting. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; familiar to those with Python or Pascal experience, but static typing and metaprogramming can add complexity. | Gentle; simple syntax and semantics make it easy for beginners to pick up. |
