lol Barkin up the wrong tree. After 28 years of programming, I guess I must
have written my fair share of C, no? (As some unrelated trivia, Arturo was
initially written completely in C).
The question had mainly to do with Nim and how it translates things to C.
Because knowing how to write something in C is one thing, having to guess how
something will be translated to C is totally different.
