The Zig self-contained toolchain is one of the most appealing feature IMO, and it can also be used to compile C.
That said, I was very interested in Zig 2-3 years ago but that has mostly cooled off, C is not perfect but good/flexible enough for what I am building.
Zig has some opinionated language features/idiosyncrasies that I don't like and the syntax feels somewhat less clean.
Also, while I really like the memory management approach (passing allocators as parameters) the way it is implemented is conflicting some of my needs. There are probably some workarounds but I don't feel the need to invest much time in this language as the added QoL benefits are not simply not outweighing the cost for me.
- bbkane 11mo agoI feel like passing allocators is the most flexible design (if cumbersome to use). What needs does it conflict with?
