That doesn't really matter for syntax. You could easily add lifetime syntax to Nim.

It matters for the question of whether Nim manages to do the same things as Rust with better syntax.

Okay, so instead of Nim, consider a hypothetical language that has Nim-like syntax but Rust semantics. What would be the problem with that?
