For my interests (DPDK, NIC, low level storage I/O etc.) I have high hopes for Zig. And for reasons other have explicated over the last year on HN, I think it'll work much better than Rust. Readers should have realistic expectations. It's not substantially downhill to write C like code. I ran into this bug right off the bat. TL/DL: Zig's linker does not pull in dynamic libs. It finds static libs but alas the .tsk doesn't give expected behavior anyway: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14939 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14939 A. Kelly (head Zig dev), to his credit, seems to already be on top of in this through a related bug: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14963 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14963 I didn't expect to run into link problems on day 1.
