I haven't worked with GTK, but what you are describing here sounds reminiscent of what we have been dealing with trying to build Godot bindings in Zig with a nice API. the project is in mid-flight, but Godot: - has tons of OOP conc

here, I'll copy the first paragraph of TFA for you: > Many software projects take a long time to compile. Sometimes that’s just due to the sheer amount of code, like in the LLVM project. But often a build is slower than it should be

it can narrow the payload: https://zigbin.io/7cb79d I think the post would be more helpful if it had a concrete use case. let's say a contrived bytecode VM: dispatch: switch (instruction) { inline .load, .loa

You have raised a good discussion point or two, but I am not inclined to engage with them due to the tone you've created with the rest of your comment. Would it be productive to jump into a thread on a Ruby article and puff your feathe

oh, man! you made my day with this comment. those days are long behind me. we were young, dumb, and inebriated. if you're looking for the bands we were trying to sound like, there was a resurgence of this surf/girl group sound in

I've entertained further expanding this API to expose a comptime generated struct of pointers. From the Connection use-case detailed in the article, it would look something like this: pub fn getPtrs(self: Self) struct { clien

I think there may be room to expand this implementation to support such a use case. Right now it enforces an `.auto` layout of the struct provided in order to ensure alignment, but its easy to imagine supporting an `extern struct` with a de
