A number of those using zig in production have played with zig for a considerable amount of time (I started playing with 0.5.0 where large breaking changes came shortly after) thus know what to expect. Afaik most of those are within embedde

It's not "reverse racism", "normal racism", etc; it's just racism. Putting a modifier on the word to make it seem "different" doesn't do the word justice. It has nothing to do with "privileg

Not having warnings is intentional and seen as a feature.

That's the wrong question to ask. Don't compare it to rust's memory safety as otherwise you're pretty much answering your own question with "you shouldn't". Think of what zig has to offer instead and try i

Which is something mescc and friends solve. Zig doesn't need to solve the full bootstrap from nothing chain, just the entry.

300-700 ms is a huge span of time for certain (real-time) tasks and worth considering.

It was rather a failure to deliver on the promises than perceived as a threat to Zig and the target audience for both differ enough that V doesn't have an effect on the success of Zig nor does Zig have an effect on the success of V. Th

Wayland being a requirement sounds like a sound choice in terms of maintenance and the issues of X itself. Applications don't need to update to GTK5.

How do you handle function-like macros and concatenation? Also, both D and Zig seem to have switched to including a full C compiler instead due to issues with translating C source wise, is that a possible direction for this in V or is the s

I don't see how the Zig Software Foundation is related to SYCL not mainly marketing a concept. Note, there's nothing wrong with marketing and providing courses (something which the FSF also provides), it's just the act of pro

by nyberg 4y ago
And what is SYCL if not marketing? It's a conference which sells the idea that we can make better software for the end user which is marketing just without the freedom aspect of a user being able to modify and study software. What shou

I think this comes off a bit arrogant and narrow minded which is a bit disappointing coming from the VP of community. There are many other projects which the FSF provides support for to further the goal of spreading free software and pickin

The issue isn't the Go module system but rather their proxy which is not part of Go and should respect server resources but doesn't. The workaround makes any 3rd party host for go modules a bad choice as packages will always be st

There's https://github.com/ZigEmbeddedGroup/microzig and other work within the same space. I've used it for linux-based embedded platforms to both debug and build switches.

Zig comptime would be one of the major features which provides most of the language at compilation time for use in metaprogramming, conditional compilation (e.g `if (target == .windows) {}`), generics, and many other use cases for partial e

If it's at compilation time, you have the full zig language so you certainly could implement your very own functional programming language https://github.com/igmanthony/zig_comptime_lisp in regular zig rather in a

Rust doesn't provide integer overflow safety unless explicitly requested. This is something refinement types which ATS2 provides would catch.
