First of all thanks for Zig. I like your work. As I said, I don't know Zig. I read the OP's article and saw these: std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{arg}); vs std.debug.print("{s}\n", arg); /

I don’t know zig, but I’d like to know if the syntax idiosyncrasies are warranted, or are they are designed just to be different from other languages? IMO using well established syntax makes life easy for a lot of new folks who want to lear

Both consteval and constinit are evaluated at compile-time, right? If yes, then why two different keywords?

by fractalb 4y ago
I didn't understand the difference between constinit and consteval. It appears that constinit is just consteval applied to global/static variables. Why two keywords then?

You didn’t like the film and a lot of others did. What’s cringey about it? Different people different tastes. I for one enjoyed it. And enjoyment is what I go to a movie for.

As I understand it, Zig is not targeted at GC language users. Their main focus is C, C++ and Rust(?) users.

> Speed of C++, simplicity of Python, coroutine model of Go. That sounds great. Can someone with more experience with C++ tell how good this framework actually is?

by fractalb 4y ago
Perl faded away because there was an alternative (Python) and it was not a kitchen sink. For C++, there's no alternative at all. People have to bear with it.

We had a recommendation in one of my previous companies to replace all TODO's with XXX. Their rationale was that the TODO tags sounded like an unfinished product to the customers. So they wanted to replace all those TODO labels with XX
