Hi #embedded developers, hi #c developers. I am writing a new #libc to explore alternative idioms and hopefully improve ergonomy, expressiveness, and some other points that seem important to me.

I am considering adding a generic interface for allocators, so the default behaviour can be easily overridden by users and third parties, like #zig or #odin.

This pattern could be expanded to features other than allocators, but I'm struggling to decide which ones can be relevant.

NullClaw под лупой: зачем AI-агенту Zig, маленький бинарь и быстрый запуск

Когда смотришь на современные AI-агенты, быстро замечаешь одну общую черту: почти все они живут на тяжелом стеке. Где-то это Node.js, где-то Python, где-то длинная цепочка зависимостей, сервисов и фоновых процессов. На этом фоне nullClaw выглядит почти инородно: один бинарный файл, Zig, быстрый запуск, мало занимаемой памяти и минимум лишнего. Для этой статьи я смотрел nullClaw в состоянии v2026.3.13-1-g78366e9. Для сравнения я отдельно прогнал те же сценарии на свежем npm-релизе OpenClaw 2026.3.12. Сразу оговорюсь: это не сравнение полноты платформ. nullClaw я смотрю как маленький single-binary runtime на Zig, а OpenClaw — как более широкий self-hosted gateway/agent stack с Node-зависимостью, daemon/gateway-режимами и Control UI. Поэтому ниже я сравниваю не «кто лучше вообще», а цену локального запуска в одинаковых коротких сценариях: служебные команды, один agent-run, маленькая coding-задача и пачка параллельных небольших coding-задач.

I’m attempting to use Zig on OpenBSD-current. I have to perform seemingly every action, from viewing zig build —help to actually building a project, as root. This hasn’t been a problem with make, the uxn assembler, etc. What do I need to do to make this easier?

(I am using zig-0.15.2 from the package repo; maybe I should be using the latest snapshot? I saw there were some OpenBSD-related changes made not that long ago but I figured the version available from ports would either work out of the box or give me instructions for making it work.)

Lightpanda는 에이전트를 위해 Zig로 새로 개발된 헤드리스 브라우저입니다. Chrome보다 메모리 9배 절약, 속도는 11배 빠르며 Playwright와 Puppeteer와 호환됩니다. 스크래핑, LLM 학습, 웹 자동화에 적합하고 100% 오픈소스로 공개된 점이 강조된 발표입니다.

🎾 Tired of opening Excel just to peek at a CSV?

I wrote about tennis — a terminal table viewer built in Zig — and how to run it with a single Docker command.

No Python. No GUI. Just clean, readable tables in your shell.
