> @Dom96 can I ask you about some more context for this? The context is multiple things:
* I've been speaking to more and more people recently about Nim, discussed their experiences selling it to other programmers and the conclusion seems to be similar. Style insensitivity is awkward and they would rather not have to explain this to everyone. * If I am pitching Nim to someone I try to stay away from telling them about style insensitivity and I know of many others who do the same, that's a pretty bad sign I think. * I am conscious of the fact that v1.0 is coming and I want to ensure that Nim has a solid chance of gaining adoption. I view style insensitivity as a possible major blocker. > Where have you seen this?

Was it just a gut reaction to an unfamiliar paradigm, or is it > something else? Note: This is mostly conjecture. It's not something that programmer's feel needs to be solved. The explanation of why the feature exists doesn't merit it. It's a fundamental aspect of the language that's only there to make it possible to use your favourite style. In practice people don't care about that, or they view code which uses different conventions as bad quality and just refuse to use it.
