Some things, owing to their prevalence, in my opinion have to be part of standard library of language. For example, the string methods\functions **toCharArray**, **getBytes**, **reverse** are in many languages. And programmers don't need to invent anything. Could not a little to expand the standard string module? If everyone starts writing the helpers modules for elementary things, it won't be good style for language. Simple example. In **Nim** there are modules for work with almost all built-in collections, however Tuple was for some reason ignored. There is an informal tuples package which it meets a lack. But here comes some inconsistency naming functions. For type sequences (sequtils module) there are **foldl** and **foldr** functions and they have syntax **@[1,2,3].foldl(a+b)**. For type tuple (tuples module) there is **fold**, where syntax already another: **(1,2,3).(`+`)**. For type List (nimfp module) there is **foldLeft**: **asList (1,2,3).foldLeft (0, (x, y) => x + y)**. That we have: three types, three names of the same procedure, three syntaxes of use. **Araq**, if you are a long time programmed in Scala, then what's wrong with the unification of methods in Scala? PS: All this is just the opinion of a beginner (though who had to deal with a dozen languages and, therefore, has a tendency to compare them :-)). I really like **Nim**, and I am very grateful to you for your work, and I also like all who use it, I want it to be even more powerful and more convenient.
