+  <longdescription>
+    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language.
+    It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python,
+    Ada and Modula.
+    Nim generates native dependency-free executables, not dependent on a
+    virtual machine, which are small and allow easy redistribution.
+    The Nim compiler and the generated executables support all major platforms
+    like Windows, Linux, BSD and macOS.
+    Nim's memory management is deterministic and customizable with destructors
+    and move semantics, inspired by C++ and Rust. It is well-suited for
+    embedded, hard-realtime systems.
+    Modern concepts like zero-overhead iterators and compile-time evaluation of
+    user-defined functions, in combination with the preference of value-based
+    datatypes allocated on the stack, lead to extremely performant code.
+    Support for various backends: it compiles to C, C++ or JavaScript so that
+    Nim can be used for all backend and frontend needs.
+    Nim is self-contained: the compiler and the standard library are
+    implemented in Nim.
+    Nim has a powerful macro system which allows direct manipulation of the
+    AST, offering nearly unlimited opportunities.
+    Macros cannot change Nim's syntax because there is no need for it — the
+    syntax is flexible enough.
+    Modern type system with local type inference, tuples, generics and sum
+    types.
+    Statements are grouped by indentation but can span multiple lines.
