I am really enjoying Odin.
My time on it is limited at the moment. I am working 2 jobs which is eating my weekly hours. When I have more time (leaving one job in April.. yay!) I plan to contribute to Odin more.
Currently, I would guess many view Odin as a niche language in the gaming circle. A bit like Jai. I want to try and change that mindset or reputation.. to build apps in Odin that are not games (though I plan to move a game I wrote in C to Odin as a fun experiement)
I am currently binding a C library to Odin which my early tests are working pretty well. Plan to announce more, hopefully, in the coming months. I have also experiemented with existing libraries like odin-http and odin-mysql (by a chap named layton who helps alot on odin discord) -- I need to build a family website/blog and tempted to use Odin with htmx.
The only area of critique to Odin, especially those that are accustomed to them... is a package manager. Now I am in favour of package managers. C# Nuget is good. However, for Odin, I have been happy to create a third-party folder and 'git clone' the repos I need:-
import http "../third-party/odin-http" // rough example.
