- anonymoushn 2y agoThe language is deliberately pretty small. "Advanced usage" will tend to have to do with the problem domain and solution architecture rather than with the language.
- pjmlp 2y agoHaving seen some strange things done with C, on multiprocessor infrastructure using shared memory alongside home grown RPC framework with handles instead of pointers, or regular demoscene stuff, there is enough room for creative advanced usage even with small languages.
- dragonelite 2y agoI was more hinting at this books like "Patterns in C" etc. But a more complete use/abuse of zig meta programming would also be nice. Especially for people that have consume more generic code than produce generic code.. Off course one can just hunt down the advance material looking through discord, read the bigger zig codebases etc but having it all in one place a couple of books that describe and explains is just way better to level up and get rid of the skill issue :)
- pjmlp 2y agoPattern in C can also be provided. :) By applying the architecture designs from key references like Edward Yourdon books, which are from the structure architecture wave, that predated the OOP patterns wave.
- fithisux 2y agoI like that. Still they have some design issues.
