I love the simple and clean syntax of Nim. The first time I was very impressed with vim was when I used a wikipedia xml dump parser. What would have literally taken days to complete in Python (atleast on my machine, and god forbid if it had crashed somewhere in the middle) was done in a few mins by nim (again on the same machine). I was blown away!

The one thing that concerns me a bit is that identifiers are partial case-insensitive right?

(That means only the first letters are compared in a case sensitive manner. Other letters are compared case insensitively and underscores are ignored.)

Does it hinder when you need to do refactoring?

Also, I work in vim, and grep for stuff when I need. I am not sure if autosuggests and locating definitions/usage for variables would work. I am sure I must be wrong as I believe the core developers would have thought about it :) I just would like to know how
