+# NIM
+
+Compiles to C with
+
+    nim  -c -d:release c example
+
+See ~/.cache/nim/example_r/\@mexample.nim.c
+
+# Using simde

+https://github.com/guzba/nimsimd/tree/master
+
+```nim
+# SIMD floating point multiplication
+let
+  a = mm_set1_ps(1.0) # Vector of 4 float32 each with value 1.0
+  b = mm_set1_ps(2.0) # Vector of 4 float32 each with value 2.0
+  c = mm_mul_ps(a, b) # SIMD vector multiplication operator
+# Cast the vector to echo as separate float32 values
+echo cast[array[4, float32]](c)
+```
+
+Translates to C
