I like how Nim is so small (20 MB download) - but powerful. You can invoke functions how it suits you:

var a1 = sunday("monday")
var a2 = sunday "monday"
var a3 = "monday".sunday

and even the method names are fungible [1]:

var a1 = tueWed(10)
var a2 = tue_wed(10)

and like Go, Nim has simple syntax for creating Maps:

import tables
var m1 = {"sun": 10, "mon": 11}.toTable

which Rust doesnt even have [2]. My main issue is that Nim docs could use better organization [3].

3. https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/9102

Hope 2020 will be a good year for Nim :)

I started to learn it when the 1.0 release came out and I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed learning Python a couple of years ago: easy to grok and you can rapidly focus on solving problems !

Ha! We got a shout out in the survey. Crazy.
