Tiny aside on the etymology. The word "denim" is thought to originate from "de Nîmes" or "from Nîmes" as the modern version of dungaree pants where created there. |

Maybe we keep using .nim as file extension, like Nelua uses .lua .dnm will be NSFW among Chinese-writing users. .denim is good |

Here is the spiel (because I love over explaining things):
Originally tracing its origins to India (slightly different, Dungaree), what's
recognized as denim today came out of France that became popular because denim
clothing could be worn in many harsh industrial contexts.
Possibly inaccurate historical account aside, a name of a language has a number
of very practical and important uses. Primarily naming other things and a
general source of vernacular (eg: ruby -> gems). So bring on all the jeans,
pants, jean jacket, rivet, overalls/dungaree, Canadian Tuxedo, jorts, jeggings,
etc references.
File extension: dnm (denim module)
Logo: a pair of blue jeans, easily drawn by hand, the colours can vary and act
as a quick signal of an inclusive environment or to mark occasions.
