I'm actually having a bit of the opposite issue...

It seems to me most of Nim's existing code is written by experts (for experts?) 
using expert language features. This is just a side effect of the 'traditional' 
users already being Nim experts, and the V1.0 release bringing a lot of 
'newbies' like me.

For instance, I've been trying to write a silly lil command line utility. A bit 
of command line processing, a bit of logging, and some basic file 
manipulations. I found cligen on github and started hacking away.. Had some 
problems, decided to see if I could read the source code to figure out what I 
was doing wrong. Waaay over my head...

Is this Nim's fault - No, is this cligen's fault - No, am I biting off too big 
a piece to start with ? I don't think so...

There just isn't a lot of 'intermediate' level content/tutorials yet for Nim. I 
think if anyone that really knows Nim has the inclination, blogs/tutorials 
showing how to transition from 'hello world' to more complex programs would be 
greatly appreciated. Jester seems to have the most of this sort of content so 
far, but it would be nice to see more!

P.S. If there are articles like this available, please let me know. Its 
possible I missed them...
