> Last time I was going to try it, I got sidetracked reading up on rules for identifier equality It's way too easy to ignore (or even embrace) the identifier equality rules in Nim to make this the hill you die on. My story's very similar to other responses - I've been using Nim for quite a while and these identifier rules have never been an issue. I strongly suggest anyone hung up on this monster under the bed try Nim anyway as it's really pleasant to use. It's sad that all Nim's benefits are sometimes drowned by mostly unfounded hangups on this identifier thing. |

Anyway, don't worry: I didn't die on that hill. I've had the opportunity to spend some more time on Nim since.
There was a set amount of time available to spend on Nim at that point, and all that time went into finding out why nimgrep exists in the first place, then reading up on the background.
It didn't help that all nimgrep's documentation had to say on the matter was "Nimgrep has particularly good support for Nim's eccentric style insensitivity", which doesn't really tell you anything unless you already know about Nim's style insensitivity.
