> Leave style to each person's preference.

That's fine for hobby projects. That's pretty much the last thing you want for a codebase of a significant size. I don't like C#'s style conventions, for instance, but I'd rather work with a language that has uniform style conventions I dislike than in the free-for-all you get with Nim.

Python's "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." applies to style as well.
