Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding. I'm really sorry about my 
unsolicited advice. I didn't realize Nim is a hobby language. I was mislead by 
the incredible branding.

When you used the term "object-obsessed", I realized you guys weren't born when 
the software industry switched to OOP. It was the biggest revolution in 
software development. We all resisted it until we witnessed its jaw dropping 
productivity and improvements in code quality.

Please do stick it to the man and try out new things, but do realize you're 
rebelling against solutions to problem we solved fairly recently: text-only 
displays, monospace typefaces, 8x3 letter file names, command line, and 
procedural programming. Seeing young folks gushing over vim, terminals, and 
UNIX used to be cute, but it's now very depressing. There's no virtue, merit, 
or manhood in toughing it out like we had to in the old days. Relax, your 
testicles are not going to shrink if you program in OOP, or use a graphical 
user interface.

Anyway don't let an old fogey, Gen-Xer like me pee on your parade. Have fun!
