Rust: it will take 10 months to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.
Zig: it will take 10 days to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.
You get to pick one cult. Which one is it?
Rust: works
Zig: segmentation fault
Also no higher-order functions like map, filter, reduce etc.
Really weird design decision for a brand new language.
Comptime is pretty dope tho, I wish Rust had that instead of relying on macros so much.
So how is Zig different from C or C++, then?
Much nicer than C, much simpler than C++, much less cruft than both.
@CanadaPlus @unique_hemp the biggest difference is that they don't make any memory changes invisibly
