FYI, zig is the language that the most impressive embedded programmer I know is currently interested in to use for his embedded work (he does a lot of real time hard deadline things, like audio processing). I don’t know really anything about the language, but his interest in the language is enough to suggest other embedded programmers look into it.
- oscargrouch 7y agoFrom my subjective perspective, Zig, of all the languages, is what feels most the modern successor of C. I think, it even does a better job than C++ which share some of the C syntax. The problem i guess is complexity and productivity. Zig here is a hit while Rust is a miss as much as C++. The question Zig was trying to answer is: Can we have a simple, free and powerful language as C but with a more modern approch? While Rust in its cruzade to be seen as a C++ competitor were not aiming at simplicity and user ergonomics. So my feeling is, Zig is much more compeling as a C substitute than any other language out there, and probably thats the reason why your friend like it more than others.
