Zig was introduced in 2016. If it still isn't stable 8 years later, I wouldn't hold my breath.
- jeroenhd 2y agoRust began in 2006 and became stable in 2015. Zig still has a year at the very least! Zig lacks the corporate backing Rust had, though, so it's hard to say when they'll get stable. Regardless, even if it'll take Zig a decade, I'm sure it'll have a stable release with decent memory management as part of the language spec before C will.
- pjmlp 2y agoZig is basically the Modula-2 features (1978) in a more C like friendly packaging, with an additional metaprogramming capabilities. It needs a bit more than only corporate backing for taking off, something that makes it unavoidable, specially given the alternatives.
