Nimrod is an imperative programming language that is statically typed, which means that its variables are declared before use. The language is designed to be efficient and easy to read and write, with a syntax that is similar to Pascal and Python.
As a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language, Nimrod boasts of a high level of productivity/performance ratio. Its design focuses on the 3E - efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance - in order of priority.
Installation is straightforward, requiring the availability of a C compiler. The GNU C Compiler is fully supported while other compilers may work. Nimrod's compiler should be extracted to a preferred directory, such as /opt/nimrod or ~/programs/nimrod. You'll then need to run the following command: python koch.py install
Unlike other software, Nimrod's files are not distributed over the entire file hierarchy, making uninstalling as easy as deleting its folder. However, you'll have to add it to your PATH manually, although you could create a symbolic link in /usr/bin as an alternative.
Overall, Nimrod is a simple, efficient, and versatile programming language that's worth trying out.
