I have read the article and do agree that Nim is perfect for the author's use 
case. But this is not how we, as a community, should be encouraging people to 
advertise Nim. You are suggesting Nim so the onus is on you to explain why you 
have suggested it.

Imagine somebody in a train reading HN comments lazily and seeing "Use Nim", 
expecting the reader to take the initiative and research what Nim is is 
unrealistic especially when they are just absent mindedly reading HN on a train 
ride from work. I do this a hell of a lot, and I definitely would not bother to 
"RTFM".

I don't expect you to write a thesis about why Nim is the right choice here, 
but at least give one reason why you think so.

Indeed. I agree censoring is bad, but there are cases when it is justified. I 
don't have time to debate this right now, and I won't be censoring you here 
even though I probably should.

What I will do however is give you a temp ban, there is a world of difference 
between saying "grammar nazi" and "nazi scum". The former is generally accepted 
as fairly innocuous slang, but the latter is just plain cruel and offensive.

I am a member of the HN community and respect a lot of them. Are they perfect? 
No. But they don't deserve such hatred, nor does anyone else for that matter.
