Problems of C, and how Zig addresses them

• zig

  816 30,631 10.0 Zig

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

  

Whoa, I haven't been keeping up to date about this, there seems to be good related discussion here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/7295

I'll hope for some future news of Zig having vector and complex number support! It will be a great day for fast ray/path tracers :)

  288 70,488 10.0 Zig

  Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

  

I can't answer you why Zig keeps showing up on HN (except for the surface-level answer that people keep submitting and upvoting it) but in terms of not being used in production, the Bun project, a Node/Deno alternative, is seeing a good deal of momentum by the people who like JavaScript a bit too much. It's probably the most widely used Zig project so far, including in production.

  36 4,098 8.1 Zig

  Learn the Zig programming language by fixing tiny broken programs.

I am interested to learn, how Traits in Rust and Interfaces in Go behave differently from this concept.

• alg

  4 24 2.6 Zig

  Algebra for Zig

Last year I dabbled in making a DSL like solution for operator overloading: https://github.com/Laremere/alg

It ends up slightly more verbose in usage, but the statements themselves remain concise. Unfortunately I got a real job that isn't using Zig, so I've stopped working on this. Others can feel free to take up the torch, though.
