Could someone give a brief comparison between Clojure and Nim? Let's suppose that we implement Clojure in Nim is this a crazy idea?, What about implementing Shen in Nim?. Many people complain because sbcl is not easy to use with C++ libraries, could an implementation in Nim amilliorate those problems?. Many more questions arise but those mentioned are enough.
$ nim i
>>> for i in 0..10:
... echo "Hello World"[0..i]
...
H
He
Hel
Hell
Hello
Hello
Hello W
Hello Wo
Hello Wor
Hello Worl
Hello World
Edit: It's even buggier than I remembered, best avoid it and use "nim -r c file" instead.

It'd be possible to implement a Clojure in Nim, you'd just have to port the datastructures and enough primitives to bootstrap the language core (see core.clj, Clojurescript's core.clj, Pixie's stdlib.pxi).
