You say that, but it is more than that. Maybe you should read 
more than just the first sentence.

Do you need a new compiler/transpiler to add better error 
handling? Everything you listed can be added to the current Nim 
implementation.

You have to sell a change to your users. This blog does not do 
that. Most users also care about a stable language and good UX. 
Nim had a new version recently that was a bit rushed and this new 
change also introduces breaking changes. Breaking stuff can be 
OK, depends on the context, but Nim is breaking stuff too often 
right now.
