The biggest thing I still don’t like about Nim is its imports:

    import std/errorcodes

    proc p(x: int) {.raises.} =
      if x < 0:
        raise ErrorCode.RangeError
      use x
I can’t stand that there’s no direct connection between the thing you import and the names that wind up in your namespace.

It needs to be this way so that UFCS works properly. Imagine if instead of "a,b".split(','), you had to write "a,b".(strutils.split)(',').
