Sure Dom (always nice to see you come up in Nim discussions :) if you want I can send you an email getting into specifics but:
A lot of the syntax seems like a "special case." For example, being able to specify what value an enum variant prints with a tuple of a value an a string during declaration feels like the wrong way of doing things. In Rust, the way this would be handled is by implementing a Display or ToString trait.
For the type system, it boils down to Concepts: in Nim, they're still in development, but in Rust, the language is built around them. And I love this.
No need to get into specifics. I think I understand your point and I must admit I am inclined to share your feelings about it too. Hopefully soon Nim's concepts will become stable enough to be used in such places too.
I am not the other poster but I would be extremely interested a similar email you offered, but on Go (if you've used it). My email is in my profile. I'm curious if you have any thoughts. Thanks!
