That would be wrong. Nim is harder to use than say Ruby not because Nim is more
complicated. But because there's **not enough attention paid to keep its simple
and uniform**. And some rough edges that going to be polished with the time.
Like example with iterators, the code below won't work. It's not working not
because Nim is complicated, but because it's inconsistent.
import tables, sugar
let keys = {1: "one", 2: "two"}.to_table.keys
Run
Or try this. Again the case is trivial, but it's not working. It's not because
of some inherent complexity of compiled language, but just because of
inconsistency.
import strformat
echo fmt"if 1 < 2: 1 else: 2"
Run
And there are lots of such cases in Nim.
Ruby (I don't know Python, but I guess it's the same) and other "scripting"
languages simpler to use not because they are simpler, but because they pay
attention to universal and uniform usage and avoiding special cases surprising
users.
