Why Zig When There is C++, D, and Rust?
- sixthDot 11mo agoNot into ZIG but for some reasons I monitor new issues that pop in the bug tracker of "new" / "raisins" languages. ZIG has clearly reached the next level, let's say if you compare the issues two years ago (lot of comptime/type system things) VS now.
- bnolsen 11mo agoIssues now are mostly with the standard library itself which is still in flux.
- ofalkaed 11mo agoAs I learn Zig I am realizing that what Zig is is what C++ should/could have been had C++ not anchored itself to C; that tiny change from "all valid C is valid C++" to "you can use C, we will just convert it to Zig for you," that change in methodology freed Zig to actually improve on what C is instead of just extend and build on C. Hindsight. But I am just getting into my second week with Zig, I could be completely wrong here. Either way, really enjoying Zig and absolutely love its aversion to hiding what is really going on.
