I stumbled across Zig by a reference to it as part of the Bun (JS engine) documentation.
I didn't find the Zig language benefits sufficiently compelling to learn yet another opinionated language.
Since much of my work is with embedded and bespoke systems, I did find the Zig cc front-end to LLVM convenient. Maybe it's because I haven't sufficiently mastered Clang for cross-compilation.
- davemp 1y agoI’m using zig for embedded builds currently. All of the mcu files are still in C (arm thumb isn’t first class supported in zig) but the host software is sometimes zig. Being and to easily develop on and for any host platform is such a pleasure. I can just tell junior devs to download zig and a vscode extension and they’re off to the races.
