thats all but then it spits out

My mistake. I updated the file and forgot to include the
'import algorithm' directive. The file is now fixed to include
it. Download the corrected version or patch your file
accordingly.
As stated in the file intro **YOU MUST DO THIS** to get it to
compile with current Nim (they were supposed to fix this in
this version 0.19.0 but didn't).
To compile for nim versions <= 0.19.0 do following:
1) in file: ~/nim-0.19.0/compiler/vmdef.nim
2) set variable: MaxLoopIterations* = 1_000_000_000 (1
Billion or >)
3) then rebuild sysem: ./koch boot -d:release
If you are using 'choosenim' to install Nim (highly advisable)
the full path is:
~/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-0.19.0/compiler/vmdef.nim
I'll post performance results from my laptop to give reference
times to compare against.
Ok, now it builds. I was previously following the build
instructions from the Nim website and am not super clear what
the "koch" tool does, but following your instructions, the
program does build and run. I'll take a stab at making a D
version.
Interesting results so far. I have a partially converted program
here:

The interesting part is that during compilation (with the command
"dmd twinprimes_ssoz.d"), the compilation will abort with the
message "Killed" and no further information. That's a new one for
me, so I'm looking into the cause.
