I have been reading about this new language for a while. It’s a C competitor, very slim language with very interesting choices, like supporting cross platform compilation out of the box, supports compiling C/C++ code (and can be used as a drop in replacement for C) to the point in can be used as replacement of ©make and executables are very small.
But, like all languages, adoption is what makes the difference. And we don’t know how it goes.
Is anyone actually using Zig right now? Any thoughts?
Sure, but the issue arises whenever you interact with parts of the program that does not align on the same library, starting with the stdlib. This will cause a lot of friction all over your program code, which may cause more problems than it’s worth.
