| 02:48:08 | FromDiscord | <zkopt_> var with {.compileTime.} paragma is right answer↵↵I solve that problem with var and {.compileTime.} paragma |

| 06:43:27 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> In reply to @Amun-Ra "in what sense?": `Nim = 1/2 C`, therefore `2 Nim = C`.↵People talk a lot about C in this server. Long ago I finished C exercises bundled with my copy of `C Programming Language` (K&R), but I don't think it's enough to make me a better Nim programmer. |
| 06:45:21 | FromDiscord | <amun0666> And `2 == C / Nim` |

| 07:57:17 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> This message confused me for several minutes.↵It says `for split`, but it's actually getting the correct type (a string) for the split function. What it really means is the function should return a string. And if I put a dollar in front of the line, I get no error (function logic is incomplete though). https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1547878685707866153/but_expected.png?ex=6aa505dc&is=6aa3b45c&hm=1b00568470b |
| 07:58:09 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> No, it's getting `seq[string]` from `split`. |

| 10:30:00 | FromDiscord | <amun0666> In reply to @b0rsuk "`Nim = 1/2 C`,": You can program in Nim like you did in C. I usually try to use as many low level functions as possible. |
| 10:41:40 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> In reply to @amun0666 "You can program in": Is there anything in the stdlib for benchmarking? We both know you can't program C style without benchmarking. |
| 10:43:17 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> It surprises me the "Nim for C programmers" document doesn't mention benchmarking 🙂 |
| 10:48:10 | FromDiscord | <amun0666> Hmm, I almost never benchmarked any of my C programs… 😉 |

| 12:58:19 | FromDiscord | <ghazalialshafi> In reply to @b0rsuk "It surprises me the": There is a famous lib in nim to do it : https://github.com/treeform/benchy |
| 13:52:10 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> In reply to @ghazalialshafi "There is a famous": It's third party, so you can't use it on exercism.org for example |
| 13:52:41 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> And it would be tempting to do so because it encourages you to try at least a couple of programming languages. |
| 13:53:22 | FromDiscord | <b0rsuk> The attitude I sense from C and Rust programmers is Benchmark Driven Development. |
