>
> Squeak/Pharo has the ability to use .so/.dll libraries (typically written
> in C) via either VM plugins or FFI. The plugin route is a bit messy. The
> FFI route (there are multiple FFIs available as you may have heard, but my
> article uses the "old" one) on the other hand is quite easy to use.

> Now... Nim is a higher level language than C, very very interesting in
> many ways - and it compiles via C (or C++) to either binaries or libraries.
> Such a library is just like a library in C, so we can easily call it using
> FFI.
>
> So, if you wanted to play with very fast native code that is not the PURE
> PAIN like C or C++ is, then Nim is a very interesting alternative.
