This comes up all the time, but in Nim you can almost always use parenthesis instead of whitespace [1] if you really love that redundancy/style.

Yeah, but having 2 ways is a cop-out, IMO - if I'm writing code in a language, or reading someone else's for that matter, there is an expectation of it being idiomatic.

In this, and a great many other ways Nim provides a lot of syntactic choice. A pro to some. A con to others.
