Just finished my run through ziglings[1]: First impression: when Andrew Kelly says he wanted a simpler language than Rust, I understand what he means, and why it's simpler for him. But just taking #zig at face value, it's not simple at all. How many ways to describe an array? How many kinds of "empty" values? How many lines of code to open a file?
What I'm saying is, a low-level language can't really be simple these days.
But! I do like the absence of inheritance. And I do like built-in SIMD.

Implementation of cognitect's transit-format in C.
Give it a try when you need a fast and compact data interchange format with ability to pass around custom data types not supported naturally by JSON or MessagePack.
A data interchange format and set of libraries for conveying values between applications written in different programming languages. - DotFox/transit.c
went on another walk with my IR camera from my previous thread. Even managed to catch a few rays of sunlight in between the otherwise grey week.
It continuous to be a lot of fun and I slowly get the hang of focusing correctly! There are some image artifacts and out-of-focus regions at times, but that is okay with this 2011 camera.. :D
The resulting photos also just keep blowing my mind, this is sooo good! Also there are some interesting observations, the concrete in the third photo does not reflect much, if any IR, while the foliage does. This is also something you can feel in the summer, while streets are incredibly hot, trees and grass usually are pretty chill as they do not absorb a lot of IR!
