Isn't an ide just a choice? You don't have to use intellij. There are vscode plugins.

Don't you also need to understand the go package manager or Nim's? I don't see how this is different than learning Gradle.

Better than having to choose an IDE, is to not have to choose an IDE.

It’s pretty liberating to put some text in a single file, pass that file to a compiler, and have a single executable binary.

A devolved workflow I know.

Devolved, but still superior in some ways.

    > nimble install docopt
    > echo "import docopt" > test.nim
    > nim c test.nim

Nim's package management isn't exactly rocket surgery. Even if you use nimble as a build tool it's still extremely straight forward:

   > nimble init
   > echo 'require "docopt"' >> projectname.nimble
   > echo "import docopt" > src/projectname.nim
   > nimble build

Notice the lack of explicitly installing docopt, nimble build takes care of unmet dependencies.

That's it! Now you know everything there is to know about Nim package management. (Not quite, but close enough)
