Not sure what you mean, Nim doesn’t allow tabs so that wouldn’t work

This might have been excused if they didn't also forbid tabs unless you use a hack ( https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Whitespace-FAQ#tabs-vs-... ), was interested in learning until I found this out

I mean if anything the syntax should me more specialised as you go into sub-keywords, which makes sense in this industry (e.g. ISO 8601). The problem is that `extern` seems to have been taken from C++ and extern crate is almost tacked on (o
