I’m a Zig guy now

love this arc for u bro 🤙
Been Zag forever, gotta look at that😀
How’s it hold up against Rust?
It’s far simpler, compiles much faster, smaller ecosystem (but you can easily use any C libraries), not as memory safe. I think it’s more fun to write.
Also, bun and ghostty are imo more impressive than any open source rust projects so it’s producing really impressive software despite having relatively far fewer devs …
What about Odin? Did you give it a try?
I have not. Should I?
I don't know, that's why I am asking. Lately there were many better-C/++ alternatives like zig, odin, jay, crystal, carbon, rust (and olders like D, Nim, etc) that I am completely lost. However, it seems zig and odin are the best candidates to replace C.
Feel similarly. I want something that's simpler and more fun to write than rust. I mostly like zig b/c I like the BDFL and bun + ghostty are extremely impressive projects. More impressive than any open source rust projects despite far smaller community.
Odin seems neat. Looks like creators are doing some really legit work in graphics with it. Will play with it. Thanks for mentioning.
