Indeed there's no question that Nim is basically following C++'s lead on this. Nim iirc always had constructors and destructors. Final piece of the puzzle is move semantics, and I recall a blog post where Araq came up with something very similar.

yes, Nim has move semantics, but takes care of you more than c++ does. for example, if you use an object that was previously moved, you dont get garbage, the compiler turns the first move into a copy (and tells you)

the relevant docs are here: https://nim-lang.org/docs/destructors.html
