I recommend trying it again. Consider how old the language is, 7 years is a really long time ago. It may not be the smallest language, but, it compiles pretty tightly.

The productivity cost is mostly up front, once you understand borrowing it's seriously not bad in 99% of cases. Also, you can be initially productive in C or C++, but how much time…

I actually disagree with that and think it encourages bad practices in people who don't know better. The rise of fuzz testing on these old c applications following this kind of men…

I'll believe it when I see it hit 1.0 and has a healthy user base.

It's really not that hard to use once you invest some time into it. I know where you are coming from, but appeasing the compiler actually means "I am writing safe code". Rather the…

What environment cannot run C?

Thanks for explaining, I really appreciate it.

Yea but for the most part you can avoid macros, and areas where you can't you can consider them to be keywords in my opinion anyways. Macros aren't all bad, but they do get abused …

Fair enough thanks for explaining. Basically if you want to make your own Malloc or things like it, zig is friendlier. Will say though, I've used rust for gamedev, and found the ex…

See I got downvoted a bit... Let me rephrase, other modern languages offer something along the lines of these, of the things that aren't there for say rust, close integration with …

Does a really short summary of this read kind of like, "zig is a modern c, but I like using rust as a modern c++"? Agree, Tokio is a little tricky for people new to rust no doubt, …

I see where you are coming from, zig is easier to learn, but zig doesn't offer what rust does with respect to safety. That feature is so hard for me to ignore. I respect it though,…

D nim and a few others offer nicer syntax over what's normally C for sure. Yea it doesn't surprise me that an established product had trouble incorporating rust, but at the same ti…

Yea I feel like most of these differentiators aren't things most people care about barring one. Tight integrations with c/c++ is potentially useful, beyond that I don't really get …

Cool article. I can't figure out why i am supposed to care about zig beyond it's fun? I get that it's interesting and more safe than C (honestly though what the hell isn 't). Say y…

I agree with you all. Bake it into clippy or make a different clippy aka seclippy. Also, I appreciate the docs so I understand why with examples. Also make a attribute that blocks …
