If TigerBeetle is the Zig flagship then Zig is untenable for almost any team, because Tiger Style is untenable for almost any team. No, I think that Tiger Style makes Zig mostly unimportant.
On the other hand, as a corporate backer for Zig, TigerBeetle is definitely a big deal.
But in terms of exemplary and imitable projects in the ecosystem I would think something like Ghostty is the safer label for "flagship".

- GuB-42 4mo agoTigerBeetle is interesting because even though something like TigerStyle is unusual for a database, it is very much at home for embedded systems. In fact we could summarize TigerBeetle as "the financial database developed like embedded software". Determinism is a cornerstone of critical software like in avionics, and naturally, dynamic allocation is forbidden, as in TigerStyle. So even though it is not obvious, TigerBeetle represents one of Zig biggest strengths: embedded systems.
