Huh, I misread your post. I thought you were complaining about Nim not being
able to compile the code.
If I remember correctly, the real reason for this feature was the idea that
editors can render the identifiers consistently in the style the programmer
wishes if there is no semantic difference. Editors continued to be pretty
barbaric though.

No. No, it wouldn't. Nim is neither case sensitive nor case insensitive, but
rather it goes for [Partial Case

Sorry, it has been a looong time since I posted here as I do no longer use Nim,
but… I always felt a bit "weak" to sell Nim's style
Congratulation !

Yeah, perhaps I'm crazy but the people in those comments don't seem inclined to
have a rational discussion about style insensitivity.

Gratulation! This should be an awesome boost!
Very exciting! Congrats and well done team.
Awesome! This is awesome. Oh, I already said that :D
@Derek, about the comments, definitely a FAQ about misconceptions would be nice.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving project! Great work getting the
funding, let's hope that this means great things for Nim in the near future.
Congrats!
This is excellent news! I'm very glad Nim is getting more well-deserved
support, and hope this leads to more exposure and adoption of Nim.
Great. Here today, gone tomorrow. Silly and hostile comments under Reg text
show that popularity is hard. Maybe it is time to create well exposed "Common
misconceptions" at the nim-lang.org.
Congratulations, Nim is growing up.
Great news for Nim, for the Nim developers and for us all that love Nim. Kudos!
Congratulations. Looking forward to that decentralized compiler.
**Excellent news!**
(Does everyone still think I'm crazy for [pushing Nim on the license freedom
front](https://archive.fo/E77TN#selection-989.0-1009.452)?)

Absolutely fantastic - I can only imagine how validating and exciting this must
be after all of the hard work Nim must have required to get where it is today.
Well done, all of you (whoever 'all of you' is :-).
Onwards and upwards!
P.S. Er, um, v1.0?, um, yeah :-).
Brilliant news, very excited to see what lies ahead!
Congratulations! I am very happy to hear about this partnership with the very
talented Status team!!
Fantastic news! :D Status has been really amazing for Nim
By the way, if you want to talk (convert?) the dev community at large, you're
very welcome to interact on Hacker News and /r/programming/

This is amazing. I love how Nim is finally getting some support financially!
Congrats! :D
Any ideas on who the 2 new full time developers will be?
