- New docs/index.md with language selector - docs/en/ — 01-getting-started, 02-architecture, 03-ai-integration, 04-api-reference, 05-user-guide, 06-roadmap - docs/bg/ — same structure in Bulgarian - Root README.md trimmed to quick-start + links to docs/ - Removed old flat docs/ files (ARCHITECTURE.md, AI_FIRST.md, etc.) - Added swap!/reset! examples to getting-started guides
Clojure/Nim
A Clojure dialect that compiles to Nim → C → native binaries.
Quick Start
git clone https://gitlab.com/balvatar/lisp-nim.git
cd lisp-nim
make build
make check
./cljnim run examples/hello.clj
Documentation
- English — Getting started, architecture, AI integration, API reference
- Български — Първи стъпки, архитектура, AI интеграция, API справочник
What is this?
Clojure/Nim is an AI-first Clojure implementation targeting the Nim ecosystem. It compiles Clojure source directly to Nim, then to C, and finally to a native binary.
Why?
- Native Performance — No JVM warmup, no GC pauses
- Tiny Binaries — Single-file executables, often under 1MB
- Nim Ecosystem — Direct access to Nim and C libraries via FFI
- AI-Native — JSON REPL, batch evaluation, AI-assisted error messages and code generation

(defn factorial [n]
(if (= n 0)
1
(* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
(println (factorial 5)) ;; => 120
$ ./cljnim run examples/math.clj
