I am proud what we've achieved. Unfortunately I will cease working on this soon[1], but, if you are interested and location suits you, I highly recommend Uber's Platform Engineering as a great place to work.
Happy to answer any questions about what's in the blog post, and, if you come to SYCL in Vancouver, BC on 2023-06-08[2] — in person.

- afirium 3y ago> Given that, we have not yet introduced any production applications written in Zig into our codebase (where the toolchain is fully set up), because only a few people in the company know the language at the moment. Do you have any plans where you can use zig in production applications? Thanks!
- motiejus 3y agoHi! No plans yet. In my opinion, it needs a good reason to be picked instead of C (which we have sizable) to overcome the "number of developers" argument. Introducing a new general purpose language into a large company carries a significant cost, especially into the future. The company is rightly cautious.
