For those who don't know, inlay hints decorate your code with inferred type information among other things. They look like this,
I believe they're usually provided by an lsp. Does anyone know if there's any work being done to add support for these for nim?
I think this feature has been added recently.
Keep in mind that if it's unclear what an argument means, you should use the f(param = arg) syntax so that your code is also readable for people who don't use this feature.
I'm not clear what you're talking about f(param=arg) is syntax for a default argument. Do you mean f(arg:type)?
I'm mostly used to it from Kotlin and Rust where in both cases you have to specify function signatures, so it's not really an issue for callers. I suppose if you don't have hints, assignment statements can will be more painful, but then that's an accepted trade off in the language anyway.

I believe, @xigoi talks about the named arguments. When you call the procedure in Nim:
proc foo(bar, baz: string) =
echo bar, baz
# all these are identical:
foo(bar = "first", baz = "second")
foo(bar = "first", "second")
foo("first", baz = "second")
foo("second", "first")
