As usual, I'm anxiously waiting for the new Nim to come out, and the question 
popped up while I was looking at the [github 
page](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim).

Currently, we see _Nim is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming 
language ..._ but if all goes as planned, that will change. Is there a catchy 
way to describe the new approach? _Nim is a compiled systems programming 
language with ownership semantics for references_?

I'm not sure if either of those are compelling; for me it's the metaprogramming 
that's Nim's standout feature but I do think a good tag line is helpful. GC 
is/was a good thing to talk about, even if it's a line in the sand for many 
programmers.
