Well, there is corporate financial interests involved, which is sure to push the propaganda machine into higher gear. Expect a lot more trash and FUD being thrown around by converted fanatics and speculators, in regards to all the "in

Part of the issue though can be perceived psychological pressure, that can border on being coercive or even come off as intimidation. Kind of like all the "cool kids" are using X, and if you are not, then something must be wrong

Well, the reality is that Linux consists of less than 5% of the market (desktops and laptops), where Windows OSes make up around 75% and macOS around 15%. So, that is going to dictate the priorities of companies supplying drivers.

Now the title is arguably confusing and significantly different from that of the original linked article. It seems unnecessary to mangle the title to that extent, to create a wider difference.

I suspect we will find out at some point in the next 25 to 50 years. Somebody, somewhere, is going to give it a good try. As in not stop at just the embryo stage, but make fully functional living beings, regardless of whatever laws exist.

Very good points. Additionally, Apple's silence speaks volumes as to what they are really about.

> ...i wonder how that language gained so much popularity. Well, we should not underestimate the power of corporate backers pushing and hyping their languages. And once the hype picks up momentum, it takes a lot to slow it down.

But, what are people going to do with Jai, that they can't already do with Odin? As Odin was strongly influenced by Jai, it could be argued that most of whatever was innovative, is already incorporated in Odin and available today. Ev

Odin pulls a lot from and is influenced by Jai. Regardless of how people can feel about that, Odin is open to the public, to be used and tested by anyone.

I think many teachers would disagree about the usage of Zig for CS, and over the widely accepted and used C language or even over popular newer ones such as Go, D, or Rust. Not to mention the strong push that Embarcadero still makes to pus

> Zig's scope is just to be a better C that's free to add modern features... The thing about that though, is there are a number of better C languages (both old and new) that have various levels of C interop. Languages like: D,

Yeah, when people hear GC, they often get oddly dismissive. However, various languages have optional memory management, so have to look at the situation carefully.

Very good points, that can't be ignored. Zig looks to be trapped in a niche. It's going to have a really hard time pushing past other low-level languages, and because its small and focused on that area, will not be able to compete

by Tozen 4y ago
Part of the issue is that Zig is in a near category to Rust, and its areas of focus are more restricted as opposed to other general purpose and convenient to use languages. Rust already has major corporate backers and much more established

I agree with a lot of this, in terms of the polarization and tribalism, which is often the result. Unfortunately, there is little that can be usually done, except use other programming languages (which are more agreeable) or fork/make

Thank you for the additional information and correction.

The creator of Odin has made it very clear he was inspired by and borrowed from both Go and Jai, which is perfectly acceptable. It's also very obvious, to any who have looked at the documentation or used the languages. The other post
