Learn Zig (https://github.com/ziglang/zig https://github.com/ziglang/zig). Aims to be lightweight alternative to Rust, similar to how C is lightweight alternative to C++. Both Zig and Rust use LLVM backend and borrow some concepts from the LLVM IR.
- onyva 8y agoThanks for the pointer. I’m interested as well in learning rust. Unfortunate name though.
- isaachier 8y agoLol why?
- ta33463666 8y agoI'd guess because of its "decaying" connotations. I'm personally not a fan of the bang! operator for macros, and the ' lifetime symbol choice. Might seem minor but they just leap out at me for some reason as irritating syntax choices.

- PeCaN 8y agoZig is nice. It's the type of programming language I'd write if I didn't want to do anything novel and just wanted to make something a little better than what's out there currently. It's not the future, but it's better than the present.
