miran I think your explanation is still too short for beginners...
One should know that
proc foo(a: seq[int|float|char])
Run
is basically a short form for definition of three separate procs:
proc foo(a: seq[int)
proc foo(a: seq[float)
proc foo(a: seq[char])
Run
What would
var mySeq : seq[ int | float | string]
Run
intent? Three separate seqs with different data types and same name? Obviously
makes not much sense.
Nim is indeed a bit too powerful for people with no basic Computer Science
experience.
