I like Nims syntactic looseness. Kinda the opposite of Python and more like Ruby. E.g. getting a modulo of a base and factor can be done thusly:  base.mod(factor)  base mod factor  base %% factor  and a method in the math library. Also the optional brackets is fun. So you can have:  print "Hello"  print("Hello") Allows for artistic panache. You code how you want when you want. If you're feleign OOP-y today you may use base.mod() but if you're feeling more C-y then base %%.
