Every language seems to have a bizarro decision that kind of breaks it for many people. This is Nim's. It could be worse, it could be "Who need's Generics? They're costly anyway", like Go's...

IMHO if such a superficial aspect is what's breaking it for someone, I'm thinking they're a bit hung up on trivia, the rest of Nim is really very good and other languages should copy it more. In practice the symbol thing really isn't an issue...
