In reply to @planetis_m "Ah yes let's brain": Sorry, not trying to be
offensive, nor am I suggesting we brain zap him to suit us. He can be who he
wants to be.

I spoke very much from my own experience as a newcomer: the attitude is a large
part of why I have walked away in the past. It sounds as though I am not alone
in that. My goal was to provide hopefully helpful data.

I don't think that needs to be a hostile take. It certainly wasn't meant that
way. If open discussion of perceived problems is not allowed, or if I
overstepped a community boundary, my apologies. I think discussing barriers to
Nim's adoption is necessary if adoption is to increase. If some parts of that
are taboo, I think that's unfortunate.
