Sorry if I didn't give enough context... I think its mostly they had a knee jerk reaction and didn't choose to understand it completely. Definitely not that they tried to compile something and found it problematic.
I was giving an hour long talk at my workplace to our engineering department (mixed bag of C++, Go, Python, JS developers) about using nim's language features and potential uses. I did bring up the style insensitivity at one point, and just saw the reaction from different individuals. Also just having conversations with people, I've found that can sometimes turn people off from exploring more. If they're really interested, I think they might come around (or agree that its not such a big deal). To some developers, I pointed them to the wiki page on it, but I think they just inherently found it confusing. And the fact that it does require an explanation (albeit short) does speak that it add _[some](https://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml#some) complexity. Re @alehander42 's point - > it's a thing that people expect to be very simple and obvious and it isn't To be clear, I personally think it's a neat feature :) re: @GULPF I didnt know about --styleCheck - Thanks!
