That does look quite reasonable yes. You're right, for a statically typed language it does feels quite dynamic. I think a good blog article comparing Nim to Swift would be very interesting, I couldn't find such a thing.

Thanks for your input!

Edit: Looking at http://roadfiresoftware.com/2015/10/how-to-parse-json-with-s... I think I'd much rather have Nim. This is exactly the sort of thing where types get in the way and slow development down tremendously. If I get external data it should be enough to just be aware that all accesses return an "optional", which has to be dealt with accordingly as part of error handling. Letting types get in the way as well is basically doing the work twice.
