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!
