Zig is not a hobby project. > It doesn't address the problems people actually have with C++, not like Rust or Swift do Speak for yourself. Zig addresses pretty much all of my problems with C++: - terrible compile times
- overly complex and still underpowered template/meta programming
- fragmented/ancient build tools
- actually good enums/tagged unions
- exceptions
- outdated OOP baggage I don’t actually mind C++ that much, but Zig checks pretty much all of my boxes. Rust/swift check some of these but not all and add a few of their own. > and it certainly isn't going to attract any attention from the Java, JavaScript, C#, Python, etc... of the world. Yeah of course. Zig isn’t trying to be a max ergonomics scripting language… |
