Why is Zig here?
- cies 2y agoShit, should have been Zed. The editor.
- actionfromafar 2y agoIt would have been funny to suggest rewriting Zig in Rust. :)
- edoceo 2y agoRewrite Rust in Zig.
- nasretdinov 2y agoHonestly either should be more than possible to do, although not sure how beneficial. It would certainly be very funny if Zig compiler would be implemented in Rust and, simultaneously, Rust compiler would be written in Zig
- throwawaymaths 2y agozig compiler does lots of things for speed that would push it well into unsafe rust, or unchecked rust (like using u32 index tags in arrays instead of pointers)
- nasretdinov 2y agoEven better! It would be a great opportunity for the author(s) to rewrite it in idiomatic Rust!
- throwawaymaths 2y agotrades speed for safety. i like it!
- actionfromafar 2y agoOr idiomatic COBOL!
