Yeah, I didn't return there fast enough, and dom96 has already made all the
important points. But I did add my own rant or two
[(ex)](http
I went in and did my best to correct some misconceptions I saw in the thread.
It was baffling to me that there was a single user who was spouting off a bunch
of incorrect nonsense about Nim as if they knew what they were talking about.
Luckily, Dom corrected that user pretty quickly. I dropped m
Its not about refuting your educated guess - because you know and we are only
guessing. On the contrary its only for the understanding for the simpler minds

You might as well disable the GC then during the time the big array is on the
stack. I don't see anything refuting my educated guess.
I just made a small test and increased the ref count of each string in the
array at the beginning and decreased it at the end. The result is, that the
time of array variant decreased from 15sec to 2 sec on my PC.

you are right, my conclusion was to simplistic. It doesn't matter if an array
on the stack holds non ref data.

I don't know either, but I guess its because the GC has to check all the roots
on the stack. For the seq it has onl

Better to know exactly. (Well soon we may get the book from Manning, they took
a half year to elaborate Dom's draft, so hopefully they explain all these
details...
But seriously, I assume your conclusion is not correct. I myself am still
surprised by that behaviour, and I thin
Good to know. Than any consideration to have data allocated on the stack to
avoid allocations, turns out as a performance killer as long as the GC plays
its game in the background.
It's unfortunate that the post degenerated in to a go-lang argument pretty
quickly and there wasn't much well informed discussion of Nim (E.g. people not
thinking there were concurrency/parallel available).
Hopefully once Nim gets stable a lot of work can go in to documentation to make
it reall
