That pythonic syntax is something that prevents Nim to gain more popularity. I think it would be a great move from Nim side to introduce dual syntax support: python like and c/d/java/JavaScript/typescript/go/rust/zig ... like

You can often/usually put ()s around things if you want. It's just an uncommon style. (Much like you can format bracey code like lisp with the close brackets bunched up all at the end of one line instead of one per line, but people rarely do.)

And yet, it didn't hold Python back, based on the current TIOBE index rankings.
