@LeuGim I think it is partially my lack of understanding. The documentation around arrays is not as clear as it could be around the ways to initialize and populate arrays.
Yes, large arrays are difficult to initialize or fill by literal. Though the core devs seem to be taking steps to fix this issue as seen in this recently merged PR: [https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/2701](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/2701) @Krux02 That's very good to know! Exactly what I was worried about. Thank you for pointing that out!
