The NimPlugin is probably something you can use as a rough guideline.

It is still pretty simple, but already registers Nim as a supported programming
language, enables Nim compilers in the Kits and does build and run Nim programs.

You will need to provide Build- and RunConfigurations for that to work. You
might also need a RunControl to handle the actual process of running something.
