And I think Zig will gradually eat a large piece of the C pie that would otherwise be eaten by Rust.


Currently Zig has the same issues as Rust in this context, primarily depending on a compiler that's too complex for a single person to maintain if necessary.

But in Zig's case it seems there's a pretty good chance that will change if they're able to drop LLVM in the future.


I doubt it, unless it sorts out its use after free issues, embraces binary distribution used in commercial world, and gets adoption by an OS vendor.


You can create and link to shared objects and create statically or dynamically linked executables. What more could you want on "embracing binary distribution"?


Jai is also on the que


Nowadays, a language without public implementation/documentation isn't going to get any actual adoption.


¿Que jai?

Any moment now…
