+SUMMARY="An imperative, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language"
+DESCRIPTION="Nim is a systems and applications programming language. \
+Statically typed and compiled, it provides unparalleled performance in an \
+elegant package.
+
+Features:
+* High-performance garbage-collected language
+* Compiles to C, C++ or JavaScript
+* Produces dependency-free binaries
+* Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more"
