This free online converter lets you convert code from Swift to Nim in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Swift | Nim |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, clean, and influenced by Objective-C and Python; uses curly braces and type inference. | Python-like indentation-based syntax, concise and readable, with some influences from Pascal. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented, protocol-oriented, and functional programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and optional types. | Statically typed with strong type inference and optional dynamic typing via 'variant' types. |
| Performance | High performance, comparable to C/C++ for many tasks, optimized for Apple platforms. | Very high performance, compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript, often close to C in speed. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for iOS/macOS development (e.g., SwiftUI, UIKit, Foundation). | Smaller ecosystem, but growing; supports Nimble package manager and can use C libraries easily. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong backing from Apple and extensive documentation. | Smaller, but passionate community; less corporate backing and fewer learning resources. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those familiar with modern languages, but some Apple-specific concepts. | Gentle for those with Python or Pascal experience; some complexity in metaprogramming and macros. |
