The Python-like syntax is a minus for me. I didn't care for semantic leading whitespace in ABC. I don't care for it in Python. I therefore doubt I'd care for it in Nim. If that's your thing, an Ada with Lisp-like macros sounds delightful.
- cb321 4y agoIt is definitely more possible in Nim than in Python to use parens () in many (but not all) places to be more like bracy languages (but with parens being the brace..).
- cestith 4y agoI've actually become somewhat interested in Hy lately. Having a Lisp that targets the Python AST may come in handy. If there was a Nim facility for full Lisp or a very Lispy syntax that could be really nice. https://github.com/hylang/hy https://github.com/hylang/hy
