Long story short: I wrote a Ruby extension in Zig

• zig

  321 20,791 10.0 Zig

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

  The Zig Programming Language Discord has a zig-help channel that's pretty responsive if you're ok with Discord. The archive is searchable.

  https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Community#discord-englis....

  GitHub's code search beta is a good way to find out how other people are doing things with Zig, if you have access to it. For example:

  https://cs.github.com/?scopeName=All+repos&scope=&q=http+pat...

  Some less-known walkthroughs for those new to Zig but comfortable in other languages:

  - A half-hour to learn Zig: https://gist.github.com/ityonemo/769532c2017ed9143f3571e5ac1...

  - Zig Crash Course: https://ikrima.dev/dev-notes/zig/zig-crash-course/

• simd-json-ruby

  1 1 10.0 Rust

  An experiment in creating a Ruby wrapper over simd-json library in Rust

  I’d be interested in it as well. I imagine the author talks about Rust being hard, cause extending Ruby with Rust doesn’t seem problematic. Here is an example of simd json extension written in Rust using Rutie: https://github.com/drogus/simd-json-ruby/blob/main/src/lib.r...

  It has a bunch of macros that are rather straightforward to use

  2 136 5.9 Crystal

  Embedded mruby/Ruby for Crystal

  

  You can call Ruby script in Crystal though. [0]

  And I think Zig would be easier to maintain compare to Rust because it is a simpler language. Sure there is a lot of breaking changes, but it's not much of trouble for a language that can be read in one afternoon (referring to the single page document).

  FWIW regarding the package manager, based on the rest of the text my guess is that whoever wrote this intended to say that "Zig will ship with a package manager".

  I created https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/pull/228 let's see if it gets accepted :)
