Optimising for humans
summary
Nim's static typing and meta-programming capabilities are applied to microcontroller development to create readable, high-level code without runtime or size overhead compared to C. The speaker explains using Nim features—macros, DSLs and its rich type system—to generate zero-cost abstractions that produce the same compiled code and performance as equivalent C implementations.
