minus-squarepanda_abyss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·1 month agoI’ve been enjoying zig. It feels like when I go to write C, but without a bunch of code churn/copy paste on getting just the right memory management interface. It’s not perfect, and the API churn makes it really annoying to find decent documentation. But it’s fun.

minus-squarepanda_abyss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoI think the next language I’ll learn will be rust, but Odin has been recommended to me a couple times now. I do want to try that one out
minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoSame boat, but be warned that Zig and Odin are C-like, while Rust is C++ like. The different workflow needs some getting used to.
minus-squarepanda_abyss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoThanks. I always avoided c++ for its complexity and bad error messages. If rust is better at that then I’ll give it an honest shot.

it’s famously better at that
