I'm half and half. I adore syntactic whitespace and it makes me sad that it hasn't become more prevalent.

However the flexible identifier rules bother me no end. But as soon as my editor of choice handles it transparently then I guess I might come round.

It hasn't because I've not done more than merely look at Nim.

However it bothers me aesthetically and has put me off trying it.
