I was looking for stuff more closely tied to the language itself, as opposed to 
tools related to it. That said, the tools and ecosystem are very important, and 
I think there ought to be increased awareness of the tools out there (on a 
related note: people's aversion to style insensitivity seems to partially arise 
from a lack of awareness of nimgrep).

Unfortunately, I'm not really the most qualified person to be talking about Nim 
IDEs or the most popular/powerful/whatever Nim tools. I use a bunch of stuff 
that I've modified to my liking (my fork of 
[NimKate](https://github.com/ryukoposting/NimKate) and modified version of Sam 
from [plan9port](https://gitlab.com/ryukoposting/plan9port)). I will be using 
Kate for the videos, since the lack of syntax highlighting in Sam might be a 
turn-off to some viewers.

I've been mulling over the possibility of doing a video on concepts, probably 
starting with the AtMost concept I use in one of my nimble packages, then 
working upward to more sophisticated examples. I'll also do a video 
illustrating how macros can be used to create useful new syntaxes, and will 
probably use my ladder logic package as an example with that. If anyone has 
cool examples of macros and concepts in action, please send them to me!
