ziglua VS zigimg

I’ve absolutely had satisfaction with my several personal projects written in Zig. And based on an imperfect measurement (GitHub stars) I have also had moderate success in making something useful. It’s a terminal fuzzy finder [0]. I also maintain a Zig Lua bindings package [1], and I’m working on a port of an old Macintosh game [2].

Zig is exactly what I want out of a language though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :)

Zig has a build system (the zig build command) that uses a build.zig file to compile a project. With a git submodule you just add the directory as a package in the build.zig file. Depending on the dependency, there might be a few more steps. For example, for my ziglua library requires adding the package path (so you can @import the zig sources), and also calling the link function which compiles the Lua C source and links with the Zig project.

ziglua was released, which "takes advantage of Zig's features to make it easier and safer to interact with the Lua API."

zigimg continues to get improvements, with support for JPEG, PNG, QOI, TGA and more image formats.

You can use std.mem.eql. Dunno what you are trying to do with an PNG image but maybe my library can be useful? https://github.com/zigimg/zigimg
