Why no function overloading?

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

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

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

  • I can't seem to find any rationale for Zig not supporting function overloading, only mentions from Andrew that Zig does not and probably never will have it. Meanwhile that's one of the worst flaws of C, and one very easily correctable. Have there been any hard counter-arguments given?

  • 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.
