Nim Programming Language 0.14.0 released

Re:Nim Programming Language 0.14.0 released by tmd83 on Wednesday June 08, 2016 @11:57AM (#11863109)

I was just skimming the post and found the redefining of 'using' very surprising. The old 'using' was for callsite reusability and the new one is for declaration. Optimizing for declaration site (which would be so few comparatively) doesn't make sense to me and also for declaration I want full type name and such.

Am I missing something here?

I've never used Nim in my life, but I recall reading that `this` takes the place of the old `using`. So the old `using` is not gone—just renamed.
