Nim is widely regarded as having too many features (which is quite unfair), so I don't think more syntax sugar is gonna cut it. Python is used because of its libraries and it got these libraries because of its pleasant syntax, but not because of its broken scoping rules.

Ok, fair enough, but a "Promotion Strategy" could do more than targeting BSD core devs who value security more than anything else and yet don't understand why C is broken beyond repair. Or why piping streams of bytes between programs is not the same as "composing" programs.
