# FAQ

Whats Nim?

- Its just like Cython, but faster and more elegant syntax, we can say Nim is more Pythonic than Cython,
is a proper programming language instead of an experimental pseudo-lang alternative syntax, it also runs on the Browser Frontend.


# Development Process

[We use Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), so all code changes happen via Pull Requests:

1. Fork the repo from latest working `master` and create a new branch.
2. Change the code on the new branch, update the documentation, test it locally.
3. Send a new Pull Request!, follow the Feedback from the Peer Reviews so it gets Merged faster.
