## What it is
Nimble is the default package manager for the Nim programming language, bundled with the Nim compiler. It handles searching, installing, and publishing Nim packages, and can automatically download and manage per-project Nim compiler versions.

## Use cases
- install dependencies for a nim project
- publish a package to the nim package directory
- search for nim packages
- pin exact dependency versions with a lock file
- manage multiple nim compiler versions per project
- create a new nim package scaffold

## When to choose
- you are developing any project in Nim
- you need reproducible builds with lock files
- you want automatic Nim version management without manual installs

## When to avoid
- you are not working with the Nim language
- you need a language-agnostic package manager
