I have been very interested in the Zig language for doing micro-controller stuff as I wanted a more modern version of C. But I am beginning to think Tinygo is a better alternative for me. No doubt Zig is a great language but I don't want to always be chasing obscure languages. Go has the benefit of being quite mainstream at this point with a decent size community.
Go is also extremely easy to learn and get going with.
- rowanG077 4y agoTinygo is honestly extremely niche. Similar to circuitpython or micropython I really wouldn't reccomend anything but hobby toys to be written in it.
- dkegel 4y agoTinygo is supported by several edge computing platforms, and works well for at least one commercial application. If you need wasm/wasi support, and you're ok with working around the partial support for reflect etc., it's not a bad choice.
