Can you elaborate? Zig has a lot of traction already.

  Except for Tiger Beetle customers and the few ones using Bun, what traction?
  • gethly 8mo ago
    I've read Bun is just a wrapper, not actual Zig implementation anyway. Also, making a financial database in beta language that constantly changes and breaks is "really smart".

      A wrapper over what?? Bun includes the JavaScriptCore engine for JS evaluation, but it's so much more. As for financial database concerns, if you're serious about including a project like that in your system, you have thorough correctness and performance testing stages before you commit to it. And once it passes the hurdles, at that point what difference does it make if it's written in a beta language, or a bunch of shell scripts in a trench coat, or whatever.

      You can actually go and read the source yourself [1]. If Bun is "just a wrapper", then surely Node.js and Deno are too? [1] https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/src https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/src

      What is even that? Not bothering to Google for it, which shows how irrelevant it is.

      Another one to the list, however it hardly sounds like a killer application.
      • pdpi 8mo ago
        It's been my daily driver for close to a year now. It might not be a killer application, but it's certainly enough to prove Zig isn't vapourware.
        • pjmlp 8mo ago
          If that is enough, there are plenty of languages around that fit the bill.
