-Nit is a statically typed object-oriented programming language.
-The goal of Nit is to propose a statically typed programming language where structure is not a pain.
-
-Nit has a simple straightforward style and can usually be picked up quickly, particularly by anyone who has programmed before.
-While object-oriented, it allows procedural styles.
-
-The Nit Compiler (nitc) produces efficient machine language binaries.
-
-Some Nit features:
-
- * Pure Object-Oriented.
- * Multiple Inheritance.
- * Realist typing policy.
- * Light and clear syntax.
-
-
-Requirement:
-
-       * gcc           http://gcc.gnu.org/
-       * pkg-config    http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
-       * ccache        http://ccache.samba.org/        to improve recompilation
-       * libgc-dev     http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/
-       * graphviz      http://www.graphviz.org/        to enable graphes with the nitdoc tool
-       * libunwind     http://nongnu.org/libunwind
-
-Those are available in most linux distributions
