dimgigov 4739e2c151 docs: highlight unique advantages — standalone, HAMT, multi-target

Update README and architecture docs to emphasize:
- Complete independence from Java ecosystem (JVM, GraalVM, Closure)
- Native HAMT persistent data structures built from scratch in Nim
- Multi-target compilation (native, shared lib, WASM, JS)
- AI-native tooling and concurrency without JVM threads

Updates both English and Bulgarian documentation.

Clojure/Nim Documentation

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

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

Native HAMT Persistent Data Structures — Built from scratch in Nim (Persistent Vector, Map, Set with structural sharing)
Multiple Targets — Native binary, shared library (.so/.dll), WASM, and JavaScript from one codebase
AOT Compiler — Clojure → Nim → C → native, running at C speed
Nim/C Interop — Direct FFI without JVM bridging overhead
AI-Native Tooling — Built-in AI integration for code generation, optimization, and debugging
Concurrency Without JVM — Atoms, Agents, and core.async channels without Java threads
Tiny Binaries — Single executables under 1MB with no runtime dependencies
