What do you think about Zig?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • v

    Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io

    It's doing quite well it seems. https://github.com/vlang/v

  • zig

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

    Do you have technical material at hand, which shows the technical limitations of comptime in Rust? For Zig they are sketched here and in #7770, but I did not see anything formal yet for Rust on how it works in memory and remain sound + with deterministic results.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • sgf-render

    Sgf Rendering CLI written in Rust

    As an example, here's the CI config I use for building a hobby project of mine for Linux/Mac/Windows.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    So far Rust doesn't support allocations in const contexts; everything must be stack allocated. See here for a comprehensive overview of the current state of things allowed in const fns: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57563

  • libc

    Raw bindings to platform APIs for Rust

    For what it's worth, there's been discussion of this not only for glibc on Linux but also for BSDs which take many more liberties with API and ABI compatibility to keep their technical debt low. I can't summarise the years of discussion here but I encourage anyone interested to read through https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/issues/570

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
