This is an interesting thread, and I didn't know syntax skins were such a near-feature in Nim.
I'm very attracted to the idea - I think that syntax is actually very important, but also a personal preference. There's not a lot to be gained by arguing about it. I accept that some people like curly-braces, and it makes code easier to read for them, but for me it makes it noisy and more difficult. Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others. I like Nim's syntax a lot, but there are things I might change (tabs!, maybe assignment to ":" or "<-" so "=" can be used for comparison). BUT how are people supposed to learn Nim if all the code examples use different syntax? It's already a little tricky with Nim's syntax flexibility, macros, and sparse code examples. Newbs like me approach languages syntax-first, and I don't think I could have picked it up at all if the syntax varied wildly from example to example. Some sort of Nim syntax translator in IDEs would obviously be part of the answer, but what about reading through code on Github and other parts of the web? A browser extension to translate on the fly? The mind boggles.
