Oh boi, oh boi, oh boi, oh boi, this is a historic moment. I think at the current rate I will start focusing my energy on learning and using Zig when version 0.

Oh boi, oh boi, oh boi, oh boi, this is a historic moment. I think at the current rate I will start focusing my energy on learning and using Zig when version 0.12.0 is out :) Awesome work guys. I am so looking forward to this language!

  Is there any IDE support? Any debugger?

    any debugger support DWARF should work just fine. Also imagine it's the same on Windows. Anything that can manage a PDB file should work

    There's a Language Server: https://github.com/zigtools/zls https://github.com/zigtools/zls

    There's a language server. It seems to work pretty well.

    I found this IntelliJ IDEA plugin, the list of features looks pretty good already: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10560-zig https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10560-zig

      That one hasn't been updated in a while, but this one is under active development: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18062-zig-support https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18062-zig-support

        I saw that one as well, but there are hardly any features. I'm mostly looking for "go to declaration/definition", "find usages" and others which turn codebase into basically a browsable hypertext.

        Warning: Pure speculation ahead. Based on this issue [1] I have a feeling JetBrains is keeping their eye on Zig for an official plugin. Zig + high powered IDE support would be magical. [1] https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/FL-10463 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/FL-10463

    VSCode works well. There's a handful plugins which integrate the Zig language server, and any gdb/lldb frontend plugin works for debugging (not sure about the msvc debugger that's used on Windows in the MS C/C++ extension).

    I use VSCode with the C/C++ extension on Windows, the debugger works great.
