Eugenia LI looked at the Zig programming language this afternoon. None of the two different "hello world" snippets on their site compiled. These are old snippets and the language has evolved since. But their website never got updated. So, yeah. First impressions matter.
AnimeSlave@eugenialoli If you here to blame language, so I recommend to wait stable version 1.0.0 for that. Zig is still on it's way to reach stability. Zig's creators breaks many things each new version. And for now it is not that fast as old versions. Because zig's creators want to replace LLVM as main compiler backend with new self-written
@animeslave as i wrote in the comments, i blame the website, not the language. The website needs clarity and work.
@eugenialoli so why you mention rust then? Zig is not close to rust. Zig was created to work with C codebase as smooth as butter. Rust couldn't do that, because it's metally different language. So there is no reason to mention rust, but to blame language, that can't compile it's own Hello World example
