Let's talk about Zig - eviltoast

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?

    I’m not super interested in the language at the moment, simply because the two I currently use most (Go and Rust) cover all of my use cases. It does sound quite promising though and I like the governance model.
