This talk explains Nim’s move semantics and their connection to reference counting, how Nim’s model differs from C++/Rust and why move semantics can offer superior performance. It is explained how to leverage this technology to make multi-threading safer. Nim with deterministic memory management never has been easier.

Andreas is the designer of the Nim programming language, which he develops full-time with a team of developers and the help of an enthusiastic open source community.
