Is zig lang stable enough now to start basing real projects on it?
- justinhj 1y agoCheck out Tigerbeetle and Ghostty

- fishmicrowaver 1y agoI mean no offense but a billionaires vanity terminal and a database with an anime bug mascot are a bit different than a redis alternative
- dpatterbee 1y agoIs software not real software if it's written by a billionaire? What is it about the bug mascot that detracts from the database's legitimacy?

- garbagepatch 1y agoWhat's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?
- nickmonad 1y agoWhy would we want a literal BUG as a mascot?? /s
- aschobel 1y agobun is real and spectacular. super loving using it
- rvrb 1y agoGood point, the database written in Zig with a bug mascot tells us nothing about writing a database in Zig without a bug mascot
- throwawaymaths 1y agoim not sure i trust any hot takes from a person that doesn't know anything about anime
- justinhj 1y agoIf all you know about Tigerbeetle is the mascot you should probably take another look before judging. Some very interesting db tech.
- tonyhart7 1y ago"Is zig lang stable enough now to start basing real projects on it?" only if you want to refactor/rewrite a lot
- barddoo 1y agoThe standard library is changing too much to be honest. During the development of the library Zig 0.15 launched and changed the whole Io library.
- pyrolistical 1y agoDepends on your definition of stable. I would suspect most people would consider it unstable as they are still breaking the API for async. Wait for 1.0 if you really need true stability. But zig is just so good not to use now
- nitishr 1y agoit hasn't reached version 1.0
