I read a point about lowering activation energy on JDK website about making language more approachable. Though Zig is lower level language and much of use for typical enterprise devs like me it does have vibe of low activation energy.
I feel a lot of useful software will be written in Zig once it is picked by young/upcoming clever developers.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoYeah. How little do I have to know to be able to do a little? It really matters. But then, it also matters that it not trap you. It's easy to only have to learn a little when a little is all there is. But you don't want to use a language like that for something major, because it won't do enough for you. So what you need is something like what the UI people call "progressive disclosure". Are there any languages that do that well?
- anonymoushn 3y agoIt happens that a little is all there is, and you can do everything with it. Languages large enough to need progressive disclosure have made mistakes that prevent things from being as simple as they are.
