> Whereas for myself and most of the C programmers I know, Zig has sort of filled that similar space and seems to take the concerns of C programmers more seriously and the team has an attitude more in line with the C culture than the Rust team does. I could spend hours writing examples of this but it's even apparent in the way the Zig team has handled its relationship with LLVM, where they seem very serious about trying to not accept it as fundamental to their language and eventually even eliminate the dependency on the C++ code...with Rust it doesn't seem like this is even on the minds of most of the users. Yes, the Rust language needs a complex optimizing compiler to really be viable. In this respect it is more limiting than ANSI/ISO C. For a lot of contexts, this isn't really a problem though? You aren't going to be able to build the Linux kernel without GCC or Clang anyway… |
