I'm not sure that this is true. In fact, I always feared that people who love indentation syntax might end up not using Nim because of the possibility that code may use braces or `begin` and `end`. I don't think it's that simple to sell the language to brace lovers. Plus, there is a lot more about Nim's syntax that makes it Python-like. In C you would write `&&` instead of `and`. This will definitely upset some people too. So let's think about this carefully before selling it. There is already plenty of people who see style insensitivity (`fooBar == foo_bar`) and jump to the conclusion that it sucks. This might be similar, it is also a kind of "style" insensitivity actually.
