1 Nit is a statically typed object-oriented programming language.
2 The goal of Nit is to propose a statically typed programming language where structure is not a pain.
4 Nit has a simple straightforward style and can usually be picked up quickly, particularly by anyone who has programmed before.
5 While object-oriented, it allows procedural styles.
7 The Nit Compiler (nitc) produces efficient machine language binaries.
10 * Pure Object-Oriented.
11 * Multiple Inheritance.
12 * Realist typing policy.

18 * gcc http://gcc.gnu.org/
19 * ccache http://ccache.samba.org/ to improve recompilation
23 * dot http://www.graphviz.org/ to enable graphes with the nitdoc tool
