* In
[https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html) it
shows all the compiler options, but it doesn't seem to show the defaults. How
can I find out what they are?
* Is there a pragma that would force names to be fixed? For example, if I do
_import mod_ and get **afunc** in my namespace, what I also get in effect is
**aFUNC** , **aFunc** , etc., whereas I'd prefer just one. (I realise this is
unlikely to be available or even possible.)
* Is there any _runtime_ cost in doing _import mod_ compared with _from mod
import foo, bar_? Is _import mod_ recommended rather than _from mod import ..._?
* On Windows I used the prebuilt .zip but on Linux I built it myself. I think
it might be worth adding to the instructions to run _. /koch nimble_ since _.
/koch tools_ doesn't seem to build nimble.
* Incidentally I tried nim a couple of years ago and gave up mainly because I
couldn't get it to reliably install on Windows. Now I've installed on Linux and
Windows and _finish.exe_ works fine. It gave an error when it came to fetch
mingw but instead of giving up it offered to get it from nim's site and when I
said yes it "just worked". What I'm looking for is a language as convenient and
fast to develop with as Python but with static typing, easy deployment (single
executable), and C-speed runtime. Which is why I'm trying nim again.
