The script language supports variables, functions, string manipulation, just like a normal programming language - but designed for the creation of installers.
Even with all these features, NSIS is still the smallest installer system available. With the default options, it has an overhead of only 34 KB.
Now you can also create \R{intro-unicode}{Unicode installers}, targeting all the languages supported by the OS without display issues.

\H{intro-unicode} Unicode installers
Starting with MakeNSIS v2.50, you can choose create Unicode installers by using \R{atargetminimalos}{TargetMinimalOS} with value greater than or equal to 5.0.
These installers will work only under Windows 2000 or more recent (depending on the value you chose), but they will allow you to display your installer in any Unicode language supported by the OS.
When building a Unicode installer, NSIS variables can hold Unicode characters (0000-FFFF). There should be no need to modify your existing scripts.
If you want to read/write Unicode files, specific instructions have been added to read/write UTF-16LE strings from/to disk.
