It's a small thing, but I'm so glad they renamed it to "Nim". Its prior name carries such a negative connotation, while just shortening that gave a name that's cute and simple.
Fun fact- Nimrod means mighty hunter. The negative connotation came from early Bugs Bunny cartoons where he applies the name sarcastically to Elmer Fudd.

Kind of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod
There's definitely a much older negative connotation than the Bugs Bunny usage.
You don't like big waterfall projects like the Tower of Babel? You must be one of those microservices people... b^)
Also a very cool future sentinel in the X-Men comics.

I'm one who actually preferred Nimrod, but it's done by now.
Ah --- I didn't know this was Nimrod! I remember looking at that a few years ago and thinking 'this is awesome but not quite ready yet'.
I need to have another look at Nim. It even looks like it's in Debian!
`git` also carries negative connotations. But at least that was intentional.
