> It looks like this is still using C ABI as it's base, which increases the burden for other languages to implement it. What a let down... How so? It seems to me that actually decreases the burden. For example C# people may not impl

I want to use it for small projects but the lack of static typing is stopping me. Otherwise it was very nice when I played with it.

> It went up, but slower. Prices went up. Inflation is the rate of increase in prices. So slower increase means lower inflation. No increase is 0% inflation, decrease is deflation / negative inflation.

Since when is using SPARK an echo chamber?

Jane Street is doing it in Ocaml (which is pretty similar to Rust + GC) and they seem to be pretty serious. Are you working at a more "serious" company where they only use languages with the safety level of Assembly?

Does ImportC support extensions like attribute cleanup yet? It is basically the same thing as D's scope(exit). More broadly, are there plans to support C extensions that are available in GCC and clang?

by generichuman 4y ago
Zig doesn't have a C compiler yet, it bundles clang. Someone in the community was working towards a C compiler in Zig though. ImportC is basically a C frontend for the D compiler, semantics are close enough but there are some changes t

Well, Python, JS and Go all have different goals than Zig. You also can't write low-level stuff with them, mostly. Actually, you can (with TinyGo and MicroPython), but they're not what these languages are designed for so you'

Depends on the network and the database. Measure, always. That assumption is harmful to people who don't know better.

People think React or similar SPA libraries are the way to do frontend development, so all frontend development seems to be React at this point. "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" is the problem. Another

> Wouldn't you expect higher-order code to be easier to optimise, since it comes closer to telling the compiler what you want to do, so that the compiler can figure it out, rather than forcing the compiler to divine the big-picture

Its interoperability with C and C++ is top notch, if you're willing to work with libraries in those languages.

It is _really_ small, especially if you're using the ARC. I have some criticism for the language itself around personal preferences, such as "concepts need to be finished ASAP", "don't depend on libc" (Zig is d

Does Ada have a stable ABI? Do you have to distribute an interface document like a header file with your binary libraries? I'm curious how they solved generics in libraries. Can't find anything in the documentation, but maybe I&#x
