What's the large project using ZZ? Or is it behind closed doors? This appears to be an entirely different ZZ programming language: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/80752/


it is https://devguard.io/ which is being rewritten from rust to ZZ in this branch https://github.com/devguardio/carrier/tree/zz


Very interesting.

Can you tell us a little more about the reasons of the rewrite from rust?


I'm not involved, but one obvious answer is: broader portability than Rust (this is explicitly called out in the ZZ article). Clearly devguard is targetting a broader set of devices than the limited set Rust currently targets (x86; arm, mips, riscv in tier 2, with various caveats for bare metal targets).


Thanks!
