Functional Programmers need to take a look at Zig.

Feeling a bit bummed about my Zig build right now. Just a one line change in my basic example takes about 6s to rebuild. Some of the time in linking which I can somewhat understand, but a lot of it seems to be other stuff.

In general I don't really understand what it rebuilds and not. I have a feeling it rebuilds more than it has to, and a bit randomly.

I wonder how to debug this.

anyone with experience coding basic GUI in #ziglang?
curious about it and i don't want to write this feed reader in Rust because i care about my mental health

I'm pretty sure you've always wanted to write CGI, especially with Zig #ziglang

One thing that is slightly annoying with Zig (currently as it's in very active development) is that since the language is moving fairly fast, libraries often get out of date unless they're also very actively maintained.

And because a proper CLI tool needs to have a man page, I also made this little build.zig wrapper around scdoc.

I wrote a little tool to make running remote commands easier while using SSHFS mounts.
