I don't have much Nim experience myself, so maybe you should ask 
on the Nim forum.

It also has static if ('when'), CTFE, type reflection 
('typedesc') and templates. In addition, it has AST macros which 
D will not have. (You can find long past discussions why, or 
Google 'The Lisp Curse' for something related).

Both are system programming languages that support mutation, 
loops and pointers, so you can write C-style procedural code in 
either language. Whether Nim's higher level constructs are 
similar to Haskell is something I cannot judge.
