You return the type directly. You can then declare things to be of this type. Eg, from the Zig docs, here's how to construct a generic List type (note the comptime declaration of the generic parameter): fn List(comptime T: type) ty

No, the eBeaver has never flown a commercial flight. Harbour Air is aiming for certification in 2026. Additionally, it only holds four passengers and is more a proof of concept than anything else. It is a cool effort but battery technology

Paperclip 64 came with a physical dongle that you plugged into a joystick port. If the dongle wasn’t present, the software wouldn’t run. The software itself was impressive, a full-featured word processor with an 80 column display.

Yeah, I'm not sure a lot of people read the article. This isn't really a back to basics, going back to C, forgoing complexity type of article, but instead it's about developing a new programming language called KC3 to make us

Some years back, I was driving to the town of Apt, in a hilly area of Provence. I was on a secondary road and going roughly the speed limit, maybe a little more. I was passed on a curvy section of road like I was standing still by a woman w

We have hundreds here that gather on the same river to catch salmon in the fall. It’s a big tourist attraction. Glad to hear they are thriving down south as well.

From the article: "We are destroying software telling new programmers: “Don’t reinvent the wheel!”. But, reinventing the wheel is how you learn how things work, and is the first step to make new, different wheels."

It’s a weird tagline because the books are basically sexless. But the first one was definitely fun and original so who cares. Unfortunately, the next two simply weren’t good. I wonder if the series will see a conclusion.

"Trans vegan 'Siths' who kill people with katanas" is not a sentence I thought I'd ever read, let alone type, yet here we are, in the most ludicrous timeline.

I'm not sure I understand. Anytype is type-checked at compile time, not runtime, so you already have these things. The downside of anytype is that it's non-documenting, in the sense that you can't read the function signature

You can just used tagged enums and the inline else syntax, like this: const Animal = union(enum) { cat: Cat, dog: Dog, pub fn make_noise(self: Animal) void { switch (self) { inline else => |

If you read the end of that interfaces article, you'll see a low-boilerplate way to get interfaces using tagged enums. There's no pointer casting etc. involved.

No Go. What makes this project impressive is how he avoided nearly all of the most popular mainstream languages in favour of eg COBOL and XSLT(!).

Isn't the cool part of this the assertion that the arrow of time flips at points of minimum and maximum entropy? In other words, it's two parallel timelines, not a continuous loop of entropic time. The article dedicates itself to

Aid to Israel is mentioned as contributing to this supposed 1971 disaster. Combine this with the linked “discussions” referencing cryptocurrency and Zerohedge (a disinformation site) and yeah, no thanks.
