Thank you all for your responses, It is pleasant to see such helpful community 
around the language !

@Parashurama: indeed the program does not crash with the markAndSweep GC. I 
posted an [issue](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/6260) on github.

@Jehan: Thank for your comment on the usability of the GC. As I said in my 
first message, I work on computer vision (mainly on Android and iOs platforms). 
My dream is to be able to use something different from C++ for that matter. I 
know the GC can be used in such domain because some of the most know decoders 
(barcodes/Qr-codes ...etc) on Andoid are coded in Java (but they are 
definitively slower than some c++ alternatives (like our in-house decoder)). 
Once nim stablilize, I think it could be a niche where nim succeeds provided we 
can make good wrappers for the most known cv libraries like opencv.

(By the way I started looking at a way to port the Opencv wrapper generator for 
python to nim. Using nim for opencv could break the need to port to c++ after 
prototyping on python and make the experience far more enjoyable).
