You can find a number of benchmarks with similar results, but I really like this one[0]. I didn't check all algorithms for differences, but just looking on mandelbrot bench - both are version 1 (without hacks or some manual loop unrolling thrown in) and both are implemented in semantically identical code. Nevertheless, Nim version runs 7x faster and, literally, on par with C.
