NIMBLE (https://r‐nimble.org/) provides a framework for building and sharing computationally intensive statistical models. The software has gained instant recognition due to the adoption of the familiar BUGS modeling language. This feature appeals to a broad base of Bayesian statisticians who have limited time to invest in learning new computing skills. NIMBLE is implemented as an R package, but all the under‐the‐hood work is completed in compiled C++ code, providing near‐optimal speed. Even if a user does not desire the BUGS language, NIMBLE accelerates R for general‐purpose numerical work via nimbleFunctions without the burden of writing native C++ source code.
