Nim homepage -- example is identical as in features

[StefanSalewski]

And one more, sorry

import strformat

type
  Person = object
    name: string
    age: Natural # Ensures the age is positive

let people = [
  Person(name: "John", age: 45),
  Person(name: "Kate", age: 30)
]

for person in people:
  # Type-safe string interpolation,
  # evaluated at compile time.
  echo(fmt"{person.name} is {person.age} years old")

That example is fine, but identical to first example on Features page. That is a bit boring and not very good advertising.

Ok, can you think of a better example that would go either on the homepage or in the features page?

[StefanSalewski]

For features page maybe a sort algo, insertionSort() or recursive quickSort() (We all know the problems of recursive quicksort, but should be ok for example.)

Well the example on features page is not fully identical, it has an additional bug: name is marked with an export marker, but object Person is not exported. That makes no sense.

Thinking more about it, a small async, threading or GUI example would be nice for features page too.
