Honestly, I’m not sure about Nim. I’d probably reach for Go before Nim because I hate layers in-between things and too many language paradigms. Main thing is that all these hip new languages will be dead in a couple…
Spoken like a true headstrong nerd. A little condescending sarcasm to boot. I’m sure you own a device running an OS with quite a few ptr->field’s working just fine.
So it started as “let me reinvent the C” with ugly syntax? Little fns in ziggys little async; dots everywhere; try expects everywhere; too much punctuation. All the esoteric punctuation after loop constructs.
Not really. I praise Python for simple syntax and Go for simplicity of language features. And I criticize Zig for trying to be another kitchen sink (despite having no macros or preprocessor).
Fair enough, but then there’s a whole C compatibility layer in zig?
I feel like the whole zig language is a mess. Not a mess architecturally but syntactically. Also the whole “no macros, no preprocessor” boasting is kind of annoying. Macros are often a powerful way to extend a language,…
