String literals are enclosed in double quotes. The ``var`` statement declares
a new variable named ``name`` of type ``string`` with the value that is
returned by the `readLine <system.html#readLine,TFile>`_ procedure. Since the
compiler knows that `readLine <system.html#readLine,TFile>`_ returns a string,
returned by the `readLine <system.html#readLine,File>`_ procedure. Since the
compiler knows that `readLine <system.html#readLine,File>`_ returns a string,
you can leave out the type in the declaration (this is called `local type
inference`:idx:). So this will work too:

Nim: it is a good compromise between brevity and readability.
The "hello world" program contains several identifiers that are already known
to the compiler: ``echo``, `readLine <system.html#readLine,TFile>`_, etc.
to the compiler: ``echo``, `readLine <system.html#readLine,File>`_, etc.
These built-ins are declared in the system_ module which is implicitly
imported by any other module.
