Nim is full of alternative ways of doing the same.
Preference and style. This will aggregate more people.
I like the language, but I hate the "#" so much (as others) that I decided to
wast some time here to expose this fact, and try to convince Pythonic purists
that there is a huge team of "//" lovers out there, and this would be a great
benefit to the language.
Nim would not be alone in such regard of having alternative ways of commenting,
Xojo for instance, started using " ' " and later added the usual " // ". I
can't see myself writing:
' This is a comment
Instead of
// This is a comment
But the language accepts both, and few use the old way, nobody cares.
