It's interesting that the author goes through AdventOfCode hell (the code challenges are supposed to be hard, not fighting with your language), critiques Zig's raison d'etre and then predicts a bright future.
To me, this seems like one of those projects that starts its marketing hype too early, gets a negative reputation and then never recovers even if the original promises have been fulfilled.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThat seems like an unfair criticism of Zig to me. The project is very clear that the language isn't stable, the compiler has bugs, the generated docs being no good and releases not being backwards compatible. The community is onboard with that. If you're doing something with Zig, you're not going to complain that for example 0.9.0 required a find'n'replace to fix every occurrence of Allocator or changed the layout of std.os.
