> Significant whitespace and case- and underscore insensitivity. That's pushing too many of my buttons for one language.
Coming from Python, I had no problem with the significant whitespace. I like it more than curly braces everywhere.
Case- and underscore- insensitivity were something I initially really didn't like. What were they thinking? Are they out of their minds?
After using Nim for a year, I must say I didn't experience any problem with it so far. All the code I have written, all the code from others I have read uses camelCase (which is a recommended, but not enforced, case). So basically, even though people have an option to use snake_case (or any other), the large majority of users use only the one style.
