- themerone 3y agoYou can't use Jai. It is an unreleased pet project of one developer.
- andersa 3y agoIt will be released soon however.
- dymk 3y agoWhere can I learn more about Jai's release timeline?
- adamrezich 3y agothe only current public information on the topic is this post https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1746338114564489291 https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1746338114564489291

- posix_monad 3y agoIf Blow released it openly then I would consider it.
- MarcusE1W 3y agoLast time I looked Jai was in a closed beta.
- the__alchemist 3y agoJai has no embedded support.
- adamrezich 3y agono 32-bit embedded support—as long as the target platform is 64-bit it'll work just fine for such purposes.
- chongli 3y agoThat's silly. Embedded developers rarely work on 64-bit target platforms. Much more common are 8-bit micros such as AVR or PIC with the 32-bit STM32 when you need more power.
- bvrmn 3y agojai feels like a set of easy but not very deep sugar extensions around c. There is no big though story about aliasing, ABI and call optimizations in jai unfortunately. There are dozens of similar projects (V lang, caught caught, C3, ...) from authors frustrated by C but without stable foundation.
