That is an implementation detail, nothing prevents a future release of Nim compiler to directly generate machine code.

Fascinating. When will they do it? I would prefer it generate direct machine code instead.

Why? C has been the best choice for Nim so far.

Compiling with Nim+GCC is much faster than Rust, it generates applications with comparable performance, and it supports way more architectures.
