I didn't know this existed. There's a lot I like about Nim, but total rejection of tab indentation, and now this style insensitivity thing, mean that for me personally, Nim will just stay an interesting language I see on HN from time to time.

The partial case-insensitivity thing is not new, it's been part of Nim for a long time, maybe since its very beginning but I'm not sure about that.

I am not a fan of case insensitivity either. But it must be easy to write a case insensitive grep. I wager that a nim grep would already exist.

I do agree that this is a red flag decision.

If you use choosenim to install Nim several executables get built/downloaded along with the compiler:

   $ pwd && ls
   /Users/me/.nimble/bin
   choosenim  nim  nim-gdb  nimble  nimgrep  nimpretty  nimsuggest  testament
