What do you make of Zig?
- quelsolaar 6y agoI think It has some interesting ideas but many of them dont need a new language. I also think that Zig like C++ thinks that the language is the problem that needs solving. As a C programmer I dont want clever features. I want the simplest possible where nothing happens without me explicitly typing it. I'm much more interested in better debuggers, and tool chains [1]. Every time you create a new language or a significant new version of a language, you have to start over with the tool chain. [1] https://youtu.be/pvkn9Xz-xks https://youtu.be/pvkn9Xz-xks
