Thank's for the explanation! Then I know Nim isn't for me because "winning the benchmark game" isn't important to me -- even Python is fast enough for almost everything I write. But I understand why it is appealing to others.
Are there any other up-to-date benchmarks of Nim? In larger programs, performance is often dominated by allocating and garbage collecting memory. It would be interesting to know if Nim performs as well in that discipline as in raw number crunching.
