dimgigov a9ad83c509 fix: general equality (=) for all types, add type predicates & collection fns, test suite docs
- Fix: = now uses cljEqual/cljMultiEqual instead of numeric-only cljNumEq,
  so (= :a :a), (= "a" "a"), (= [1 2] [1 2]), (= nil nil) etc return true
- Fix: ns forms inside unwrapped (do ...) are skipped instead of emitting
  broken Nim comments inside cljRepr()
- Fix: defmacro forms go to defs section, not wrapped in discard cljRepr()
- Add 18 type predicates: keyword?, symbol?, string?, number?, integer?,
  float?, vector?, map?, set?, list?, seq?, coll?, sequential?, fn?,
  boolean?, true?, false?, some?
- Add collection fns: second, ffirst, nfirst, peek, pop
- Add keyword/symbol ops: keyword, symbol, name, namespace, key, val
- Update eval interpreter = to handle structural collection equality
- Add test_single.py + test_vals.clj for Clojure test suite runner
- Add docs/en/07 and docs/bg/07 for cross-dialect test suite compatibility
- Update README with test suite documentation link

# Clojure/Nim Documentation
> A Clojure dialect that compiles to Nim → C → native binaries.
> **The only standalone Clojure implementation completely free from the Java ecosystem.**

## Quick Links
- **GitHub/GitLab:** [lisp-nim](https://gitlab.com/balvatar/lisp-nim)
- **Build:** `make build && make check`
- **Tests:** 276+ tests across 8 test suites
- **AI Integration:** DeepSeek API, OpenAI-compatible, Xiaomi MiMo
- **Test Suite:** [Clojure Test Suite Compatibility](07-clojure-test-suite.md) — cross-dialect compliance testing
## Why Clojure/Nim?
Unlike every other Clojure dialect, Clojure/Nim has **zero dependency on the Java ecosystem** — no JVM, no GraalVM, no Google Closure Compiler, no Java standard library.
| Dialect | Java Ecosystem Dependency |
|---------|---------------------------|
| Clojure (JVM) | Full — runs on JVM |
| ClojureScript | Heavy — Google Closure Compiler |
| Babashka | Medium — GraalVM native-image |
| **Clojure/Nim** | **None — completely standalone** |
### Unique Advantages
1. **Native HAMT Persistent Data Structures** — Built from scratch in Nim (Persistent Vector, Map, Set with structural sharing)
2. **Multiple Targets** — Native binary, shared library (.so/.dll), WASM, and JavaScript from one codebase
3. **AOT Compiler** — Clojure → Nim → C → native, running at C speed
4. **Nim/C Interop** — Direct FFI without JVM bridging overhead
5. **AI-Native Tooling** — Built-in AI integration for code generation, optimization, and debugging
6. **Concurrency Without JVM** — Atoms, Agents, and core.async channels without Java threads
7. **Tiny Binaries** — Single executables under 1MB with no runtime dependencies
