as well as bad programming.

After college, I never used that language again.

import tables, strutils, algorithm

proc main() =
    var 
        count    = 0
        anagrams = initTable<a href="">string, seq[string]</a>

    for word in "unixdict.txt".lines():
        var key = word
        key.sort(cmp[char])
        anagrams.mgetOrPut(key, newSeq<a href="">string</a>).add(word)
        count = max(count, anagrams[key].len)

    for _, v in anagrams:
        if v.len == count:
            v.join(" ").echo

main()

In its current invocation, it can do anything the other languages can do and, in some cases, even more. Yes, it is wordy - but for someone learning, words begin and end make more sense than { and }. The different uses for parenthesis, braces and curly braces is often confusing. The syntax for the for command is somewhat cryptic.

It is my opinion that it is better to start with simple and clear, then add the shortcuts later.
