I have been reading about this new language for a while. It’s a C competitor, very slim language with very interesting choices, like supporting cross platform compilation out of the box, supports compiling C/C++ code (and can be used as a drop in replacement for C) to the point in can be used as replacement of ©make and executables are very small.
But, like all languages, adoption is what makes the difference. And we don’t know how it goes.
Is anyone actually using Zig right now? Any thoughts?
Yes some people are using it! I think this video gives a good idea of adoption since its about a company’s experience using zig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxx5_Xaw7zU
I considered Zig and Nim as kind of irrelevant given Rust is being adopted, but this video, specifically the C compat, changed my mind, at least for Zig.
