I don't think it's aiming for mainstream adoption anyway, it's a very specific niche.
- pjmlp 1y agoFirst lets see if it actually manages 1.0, then lets see what major company adopts it for real. D once upon a time was also hyped due to its Facebook usage, Remedy game engine tooling. Also, has Zig already gone to space? https://forum.dlang.org/thread/10614fc$273$1@digitalmars.com https://forum.dlang.org/thread/10614fc$273$1@digitalmars.com Or used by car companies? https://forum.dlang.org/thread/evridmtwtnhhwvorohyv@forum.dlang.org https://forum.dlang.org/thread/evridmtwtnhhwvorohyv@forum.dl... Anyway, I don't expect any of them to grow beyond their niche userbase. D has lost its momentum, and Zig isn't really interesting as 21st century language in the AI tooling age.
