Nimrod_description

Nimrod is a statically typed, imperative programming language that tries to
give the programmer ultimate power without compromises on runtime efficiency. 
This means it focuses on compile-time mechanisms in all its
various forms. Beneath a nice infix/indentation based syntax with a 
powerful (AST based, hygienic) macro system lies a semantic model that supports 
a soft realtime GC on thread local heaps. Asynchronous message passing is used 
between threads, so no "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An unsafe 
shared memory heap is also provided for the increased efficiency that results 
from that model.
