What's an alternative?

  Zig or Nim maybe

    Zig is way more low level. Nim is a great alternative though. 90% of the performance with 50% of the work.

      There is no more low-level. Rust and zig can express the exact same programs. Rust just catches a few more erroneous ones at compile time, but you have to manage memory explicitly in both.

        Zig doesn't even have a string type. It's not an alternative to Rust, which is meant as a safer C++. Nim has a huge stdlib.

    Do any of them have a wasm target?
    • antifa 4y ago
      Nim can target js directly, but if you really want wasm it's mostly probably possible https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7365 https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7365
