Markdown vs Nim: What are the differences?
Markdown: Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber. Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML; Nim: A statically typed compiled systems programming language. It is an efficient, expressive and elegant language which compiles to C/C++/JS and more. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.
Markdown and Nim can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.
