Simon BrownOne thing I miss in #Zig compared with shaders/clang ext_vector is postfix syntax for vector swizzles.
So, weekend experiment as a compiler noob: can I locally modify the compiler to allow postfix syntax via a kind of vector gather op? Answer: yes!
Claire Blackshaw@sjb3d I keep peeking over the zig fence and recently saw the zig claw ai agent thingy breaking all the perf records. How you finding it compared to c/++ of say golang?
@kimau I don't know about golang, but as a human with a happy place of mostly the C subset of C++, I find Zig to be great. Comptime does anything I would use macros/templates for, I like the stdlib choices, and you can directly call into C libs.
Just be aware that the language is unstable, in particular lots of breaking standard library changes coming in 0.16 for io.
