How is Zig? Is it a usable language or more like a work in progress expect much changes thing?

  • I always think i should maybe get good at a second language (as in regular use good) just in case odin goes belly up or maybe to have more options to collaborate with other people And well I like C. I love C and i would just write C but also C is 50 years old and I can feel it.

    @lunathemoongirl@cailincat.cloud I'm a big fan of zig and have written quite a bit of code in it. Big changes are still happening in the standard library and language. The next major release (0.16.0) will introduce a new Io & async API, and the current release (0.15.2) introduced a streaming reader/writer api. I would say Zig feels like a modern version of C, with many of the jagged edges rounded off. Precision, verbosity, and explicitness are preferred over brevity and convenience.
