          Nimrod Compiler

===========================================================



This is the **Nimrod Compiler**. Nimrod is a new statically typed, imperative 

programming language, that supports procedural, functional, object oriented and 

generic programming styles while remaining simple and efficient. A special 

feature that Nimrod inherited from Lisp is that Nimrod's abstract syntax tree

(AST) is part of the specification - this allows a powerful macro system which 

can be used to create domain specific languages.



*Nimrod* is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language 

which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nimrod's design 

focuses on the 3E: efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of 

priority). 



See the file ``install.txt`` for installation instructions. See the file

``doc/intern.txt`` for the internal documentation for developers.
