I added Nim to the ["Use as an intermediate 
language"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Use_as_an_intermediate_language)
 listing on the "JavaScript" article. Each list item there contains a name of 
the language that can compile to JavaScript with a one-sentence description of 
the language.

I was thinking of copying the first sentence on top of the ["Nim (programming 
language)"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim_\(programming_language\)) article:

> **Nim** (formerly named **Nimrod** ) is an imperative, general-purpose, 
> multi-paradigm, statically typed, systems, compiled programming language 
> designed and developed by Andreas Rumpf.

But that seemed overly verbose, and lacking what may be the most interesting 
detail, so on the JS article I instead used:

> Nim, a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, statically typed, system programming 
> language with a Python-like syntax that can compile to JavaScript in addition 
> to C/C++.

(There's also a similar ["Other languages that compile to JavaScript 
"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoffeeScript#Other_languages_that_compile_to_JavaScript)
 listing on the "CoffeeScript" article that maybe needs to be removed.)

This is a very minor thing, but the purpose of this thread is to log 
Nim-related Wikipedia changes we make so they can be more easily reviewed by 
the rest of the Nim community.
