@Yardanico Ah! Awesome! Was not aware you could do that in Nim (reading docs like crazy these days :). That is how you do it in Ruby, but I was into a Pythonic-mindset here I guess. Don't know yet what is an expression in Nim just yet too.

So that is way better for my taste, prefer the conciseness of the expression without explicit returns.

@Yardanico I've removed the unnecessary returns from the gists, thanks!
