If all you want is C but less insane then the obvious answer here is Zig.
- simonask 5mo agoZig is cool, but it is not even close to being ready for prime-time. It will be pre-1.0 for a while, and major breaking changes are still happening.
- dns_snek 5mo agoSure, maybe don't bet your entire company on mountains of Zig code just yet, but aside from the breaking changes it's been perfectly usable and suitable for every project I've ever wanted to work on.
- psychoslave 5mo agoIf all somebody want is a programming language than C/C++ on these matter, there are plentiful options of the shelf to pick from. If all somebody want is a turn key replacement to C/C++ ecosystem, then there is nothing like that in the world that I’m aware of.
- AgentME 5mo agoIf someone is switching from C because it's too easy to trigger undefined behavior, picking one of the few other not memory safe languages is missing the point.
- dns_snek 5mo ago>> If all you want is C but less insane Zig has orders of magnitude less undefined behavior and orders of magnitude more memory safety than C. It's not a binary situation.
