Ok, I am honest I skimmed most of the discussion here. For me it is far more 
important to me to read a code and know what it does, that where it comes from. 
It is nice to always see, where things come from, but honestly I rarely ask 
myself that question. That is also one the biggest advantages of Nim. I can 
very easily add functionality to types without the need to access the 
sourcecode of that type. I can put the functionality where I want just by cut 
and paste and no complex refactoring tools required. I like how it is and I 
don't need any need for change here. Even without tools it can most of the time 
just _grep_ for the name and find where a function comes from.

Something where I see potential for improvement would be a guideline for 
beginners. Explanations that take away the fear of programmers other languages, 
reasons why problems that would occur in programming language X would not occur 
in Nim when the same programming pattern is applied. People who come to Nim are 
biased by the language they come from. They got taught over years "programming 
practice XY is evil, it causes problems, never do it." and then it Nim people 
just do it and it is fine, because it is Nim and the language they come from.
