Odin has similar syntax, but one of the main reasons I am interested in Jai is because it has strong meta-programming support[0], where as Odin doesn't and will likely never due to the author of the language not wanting to go in that direction.

- stephc_int13 4y agoWhat do you think about Zig? I am not a fan of metaprogramming, but this is a relatively important feature of Zig.
- cyber_kinetist 4y agoYeah, I have about the same opinions. Odin made a conscious decision to not invest much in compile-time metaprogramming, and as a result was able to actually ship things without spending too much time on language design. But it’s a bit less ambitious than what Jai was trying to do.
