How are you going to implement interfaces if Zig is without classes in the first place?

• mirekrusin 4y ago
  Go has interfaces and doesn’t have classes.

    There's quite a bit of mildly hairy runtime code necessary to achieve this.

    For the equivalent thing (interfaces with runtime dispatch and without owning the underlying struct) Zig has explicit vtables. I sort of think any new "interfaces" feature should at least partly be about describing constraints on types at compile time.

      i think adding interfaces that are simply enforced at compile time would be a good start You could create a new type like Dynamic(InterfaceName) that handles dynamic dispatch somehow
