It would seem that D and Nim have many similar goals and features.

  Yes, they are frequently compared. If you like style-insensitive (case insensitivity, underscore ignored) languages with hacker mentality, Nim is for you. This is simply a no-go for me. I briefly tried Nim before even knowing about D and it never stuck with me due to awkward syntax (subjective). Later I learnt that Nim (being a younger language) frequently breaks backward compatibility. Maybe it changed now but all the above was enough to pass it and move on.

    What I dislike is the {. .} annotations, Active Oberon also followed that path and I don't find it that great.

      Some context would be nice - can you say a little more on that annotation please.

        That is how Nim does pragmas, https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#pragmas https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#pragmas And Active Oberon as well (here called flags), http://cas.inf.ethz.ch/projects/a2/repository/raw/trunk/LanguageReport/OberonLanguageReport.pdf http://cas.inf.ethz.ch/projects/a2/repository/raw/trunk/Lang...
