It depends on whether the C code generated by Nim is at the same abstraction level as the Nim source code ... clearly that's not the case, because Nim is using C as an assembly language. People acting in bad faith can down vote me all they want (I know that wasn't you, Dominik; you're a great guy) but that's what "transpiler" means. Coffeescript is a transpiler; Nim is not at all ... it does a vastly more complex transformation of the Nim source in order to generate that C code ... as you, Dominik, are especially well aware.

And there are people who will disagree about just about anything, because they are ill informed or have poor judgment or are dishonest (looking at you, White House) ... the mere fact that there are people who disagree about something is not of significance.
