I know. Closed. I am sorry but let me add last quick remark. Such discussions,

Oh yeah and I regretted this remark... It's fine to ask newbie questions here,
the forum will get a section for this.

I think the IRCs are not the right medium for newbie questions, as @mmierza

I think that noobs (like myself) should be encouraged to avoid annoying the
DevGods on GitHub with anything short of a fully-baked well-thought-out bug
report, but message forums are a lower tier of seriousness, about on par with
chat, where novices and noobs can help each-other.

The _success_ of 'Nim' is the _success_ of all of us who are interested in the
learning and contributing to the language and the community !
_var_ is passing-by-reference.
Having return value and/or arguments passing is different issue I think.

Well there's a [nim](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/nim) tag on
StackOverflow. It certainly wouldn't harm if Nim had more exposure there. I
think this forum should be more for discussions which do not fit into SO's Q&A
format.
Thank you. I will use this IRC bridge. Anyhow, I feel forum is a lot better for
even newbie questions. If language becomes more popular you will have the same
questions asked again and again in IRC whilst they should be easy discoverable
in forum (like in stackoverflow), this could serve as addi

Hi
"Btw please join IRC or gitter instead of flooding this forum with newbie
questions, no offense."
I do not want to flood your forum, but I do realize my questions would be
newbie as well. The problem is, if I use irc-like I have chance to get answer
only from people who are already online/r
'var' can be faster since the semantics differ: Essentially a return type
promises a "fresh" memory location, 'var' doesn't promise anything and so can
be faster. Btw please join IRC or gitter instead of flooding this forum with
newbie questions, no offense.
is there any performance difference between using var parameters versus tuple
as a return value ?
