Zig is becoming more production-worthy - zigmonthly
What if you could develop native applications in JavaScript or WASM, with a runtime that is not Electron? Cosmic is one answer to that, and a project to keep an eye on for sure:
-
3D Animation and Dynamic Lighting
You can play with the demo by running the example code here: https://github.com/fubark/cosmic/blob/master/graphics/examples/3d.zig
-
Updates to Cosmic Graphics, Text, UI.
Example can be found at https://github.com/fubark/cosmic/blob/master/ui/examples/text_demo.zig
-
UI Engine in Zig
Definitely want to target Vulkan/Metal/DirectX. Also would like to support WebGPU when it's ready. The drawing is conveniently abstracted away in https://github.com/fubark/cosmic/blob/master/graphics/src/graphics.zig
-
Polygon Tessellator in Zig
The demo app is at https://github.com/fubark/cosmic/blob/master/tools/visual-tess.js and the zig implementation is at https://github.com/fubark/cosmic/blob/master/graphics/src/tessellator.zig

A runtime for Javascript built with Zig and V8.
I have been working on a general purpose runtime for JS. It's at a point where it's functional on linux/macos/windows with examples including a fun paddle ball game. https://github.com/fubark/cosmic
- 2D Graphics Lib for UI/games
