gollark: To really shrink your C binary try osmarkslibc™, coming soon.
gollark: Large binaries probably yes. Rust also does that. Nim doesn't somehow. I don't know why or particularly care.
gollark: But both seem to have pretty large dependency trees.
gollark: Might be a difference in dependency culture I guess.
gollark: Really? I find it to go much faster on average go programs versus average rust ones.

Notes
- Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
