Zig is a joy to write; it feels like a much-improved C. Writing and cross-compiling a custom app for Windows was great. The only thing I'd mention is that there is a lot of outdated information on the net for it. Zig has evolved and changed quite a bit, leaving it quite difficult to search (or chatbot) for up-to-date information on its syntax and idioms. It can be frustrating to get so many incorrect answers.
- fuzztester 2y agoimo, this is a liability for them, as well for those of us who are interested in zig, but don't want to break our heads and time reading zig (language impl, not zig src examples) source code just to understand the language features. I don't know if they (andy and co.) get it, or if they subscribe to "use the source, luke" mentality :) happy to be told I am an idiot, and don't get it, but only with good reasons :) ( as a guy who did quite a lot of C earlier, including in prod, I was interested in the goals of zig, but it should work for my needs, in the sense that I describe above. ) and I will decide what is good for me :) now, zig away!
