Hi!

Nim now has a home on Docker hub: 
[https://hub.docker.com/r/nimlang/nim/](https://hub.docker.com/r/nimlang/nim/). 
There are images for all versions available as .tar.xz archives on 
nim-lang.org. Adding earlier versions should not be a problem, I just didn't do 
it yet. Nimble is included in images 0.13.0 and higher, because it is the 
minimal required version. If there's a way to install Nimble on earlier 
versions, it's no problem building an image for it. @dom96 is welcome to 
contribute on this one.

It's not official in Docker terms (i.e. doesn't belong to "_" namespace), but 
it can be official in general sense, meaning it's endorsed by the language 
authorities. Do make it so, I need the permission to move the Dockerfile repo 
[https://github.com/moigagoo/nimage](https://github.com/moigagoo/nimage)/ to 
nim-lang.

Having a curated, official repo on Docker Hub is important because it lets 
people dive into Nim development quickly. If @Araq and the community approve, I 
think we should post a link to this repo on the official website.

A quick note about namespace. I couldn't use "nim" or "nim-lang." Apparently, 
"nim" is too short and dashes are not allowed, however Docker Hub didn't 
explain why these namespaces were unavailable.

Feel free to contribute! Email me on [email protected], and I'll add you to the 
repo.

Thanks!
