Absolutely! It's fantastic :)
One piece of advice I can give, is functional programming (which I am a huge proponent of), as defined by a tonne of chained/composed operations on sequences
.map.filter.etc.etc()
Is not a good fit for Nim. `proc` is a really good reminder: its a procedural language, more than anything else!
You can still use a lot of FP ideas though, but one thing I always remind myself is at the end of the day Nim _is_ C, C is the output, so working within that idea helps a lot in terms of keeping things optimised with little effort on my behalf!
