Except that Nim doesn't allow double-underscores, which show up from time to time in C.

Compiling var my__thing = 10 yields:

Error: invalid token: trailing underscore

Which is actually my biggest complaint about Nim. The error messaging is terrible, as are some of the decisions around the standard library. There's a good amount of bad and Windows-centric language there, unfortunately. Functions in the standard library like "setCtrlCHook" https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#setControlCHook%2Cproc...

Overall still a fan of Nim. Unlike many of the people in this thread, "marketing" is not a concern to me. I don't expect to ever program with Nim at my day job because "marketing" programmers are too dogmatic these days. Day-job languages are always going to be hypelang_2020 + dogma_patterns_v3. I very much like that the Nim community feels underground, is small and active. I hope it never suffers from the influence of modern dayjob programmers, but this is because I've seen the fun sapped out of other communities. A selfish desire, if I may.
