It took me a couple of weeks to realize Nim’s semantics are really different. Despite that Nim feels like an alternate reality of Python 2 -> 3 that went more lispy and a bit Pascal-ish. It gives me the old Python 2.7 vibe. Though I’d still prefer ‘def’ to ‘proc’ but that’s pretty minor to me.

It’s interesting to see how well the typed Python syntax maps to a static implementation of Python. The speed should probably be a lot faster than CPythin too for many cases.

The really nice thing about proc is that emphasizes that they are in fact procedures, rather than mathematical functions - a distinction that becomes more relevant as FP gains mindshare.
