The examples are supposed to show somewhat unique and interesting code, they are for experienced programmers. There is nothing interesting about "hello world" and function calls, every other language can do that too. If you don't immediately understand the code snippets, maybe they still work as whetting your appetite to learn more about Nim. Maybe they put you off, that's life, it's impossible to please everybody.
You are wise. But would it be possible to have somewhat pleasing example, mostly to new users? Don't get me wrong, I love Nim, it is the fastest and easiest language I know of.
By new users, I mean to say that those without nim experience but enough experience to be called proper programmers (not begginners or students).
concluding: Since Nim has comparitivly unique and different looking approach, Should we have some sort of example that is easy to understand? Could we have more comments in the example?
Well, you are right afterall. I ventured into Nim because of my curiosity afterall. :)
The index page of your website was the first page I visited when I ventured out to pick up a new language. Apparently, the code example that I saw at first was so confusing, I immediatly moved over to other options. This is how I would like to point out the issues with the provided example from an eye of a non-nim dev:
And that is all I have to say for this example. As a sidenote, I believe we are lacking behind in terms of website design, It feels very static. No animations? I mean you must have heard of these subtle animations that fade in an object on intersection with viewport. Nvm, my main issue is with the code example.
Thank you. (My english is not good, I am not a native speaker, please correct me where possible)
