Chacon Creek
Chacon Creek is a small stream of water located in Webb County, Texas, US, which runs through Laredo. The creek is formed 6 miles from Webb and runs southwest for 20 miles until it connects to the Rio Grande. Chacon was dammed in 1951 in east Laredo to form Lake Casa Blanca, a 1,680 acres (6.8 km²) lake. The terrain surrounding the creek is mostly clay. The vegetation surrounding the creek is mostly made up of mesquite, cacti and grasses. Chacon Creek is cross by several highways in Laredo, including United States Route 59, Texas State Highway Loop 20, Texas State Highway Spur 400, Texas State Highway 359 and United States Route 83.[1]

gollark: It also produces nice not-actually-static-exactly binaries, which is useful for purposes.
gollark: Anyway, Nim:- is reasonably fast (even if certain libraries are beelike)- has nice syntax- has decent library existence- is able to bind to C stuff, which I have actually used in this because cmark-gfm is very fast- is fairly pleasant to write- has cool metaprogramming- has a compiler which mostly runs bearably fastthus I am using it.
gollark: `openring`, that is, which generates the "from other blogs" bit on my website.
gollark: Also, in the past I had to write about three lines of code to make a Go project faster, because despite Go's main thing being parallelism the authors did not bother to parallelize it despite it being trivially possible to do so.
gollark: Well, in my foolish youth I actually did use it a decent bit. I also used Apple products and was excited about Windows 10, so something.
