Versions with an even number are releases. E.g. 0.9.0 is a release version, 0.9.1 is an in-development version. -# Will Nim have block comments? - -Most probably not. Reasons for avoiding them are: - -* If proper block comments exist, they should be nestable. This means you cannot tokenize Nim with regular expressions anymore. -* The editor can be used to put "#" in front of every line. -* "when false" is not a bad solution. At least syntax is still checked for deactivated code. -* discard """ """" is another solution. - # Why is it case/underscore insensitive? * Identifiers which only differ in case are bad style. If the programming language treats them the same the programmer needs to come up with different names for different things.
