Man, I am a young junior developer so I am not aware of all the history of programming, but this past decade really seems like the renaissance of low level programming (at least in terms of new languages)
On another note, as a fan of both C and Rust, I am excited to see new languages that might improve upon ones that I already love.
My big question for Zig is, is this going to be like the D programming language? From what I was told D was better than C++, but wasn't enough of an improvement to fully take hold.
I do like the idea of an improved C though. For as good as Rust is, it certainly can take a while to code up a project, I would prefer C to fire things up quickly and having some modern improvements in a language like C definitely grabs my attention.
- renox 5y agoD is chock-full of very good ideas but original-D has a GC so it's not really a competition for C++. DasBetterC has no GC but it's quite new so it must compete for mindshare with Rust, Zig, V, Odin..
