> I quite like the moving crown There was a Pascal variant available with some sort of running animated lion and "fancy" design decades ago. I left that page after a few seconds and never returned.
Making fancy design and animations may be much fun, but for serious stuff a sober layout can be better. The initial layout from 5 years ago was not bad, it was only the forum which looked like a forum of gaming kids from 1980 that time. And current Nim homepage design is not that bad. Some text is very bad, starting with "It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula." Well that sentence is related to a draft of my own, but in this form that sentence is very stupid. What is the message? The Nim devs had no own ideas, they copied only from Python, Ada and Modula. Can a message be worse? My suggestion was something "combined with modern concepts of recent research." You may find the draft still in the forum. Well my draft was too long maybe, so I guess miram did copy fragments. But copy and past can not replace own thinking. And the text: > Macros cannot change Nim's syntax because there is no need for it — the > syntax is flexible enough. > > Statements are grouped by indentation but can span multiple lines. As advertisement on the front page? "cannot" sounds negative, like a restriction, and I assume only experts can really understand that sentence. I never got it. And the "can span multiple lines."? Has that language really not more to offer?
