and what was the proof of these existing designs? peer review?
There is nothing new under the sun. What matters is what is /useful/ and that seems to be the focus for Zig, to be useful. The proven design it tries to improve on is C.
- Mathnerd314 5y agoReally? You're using the Bible to argue with me? Computing is still a young field, only 80 or so at this point. There are many areas that haven't been explored. For example polyhedral optimization only became a thing in the past 20 years. Zig only gets away with being shallow because LLVM does all the heavy lifting. If you follow LLVM you will find a steady flow of academic papers (it even started as an academic project).
