> If you haven't used a language before

This just feels like gatekeeping. I like nim, I've used it, talked to Dom and the author a few times in chat, filed some small bug reports. But even if I hadn't, I'd still hate the case insensitivity; I'm an experienced developer and I don't need to have used a language to know I will like or dislike some aspect of it.

To me it feels more like gate opening: if you feel discouraged to try a language by this specific feature that you do not like, do not fear, come in and try it since as far as we know no people actually using the language suffered from this feature
