zig referrers

referrers.txt

Here's a bunch of stuff I found in referrer URL to ziglang.org.
I'm not stating any opinions on any of this content, just exposing the information.

> Note that while Haskell doesn't have a "compile-time phase" (unlike, say, Zig), we can use Template Haskell to mess around with the syntax tree during compilation, which seems to be enough for our purposes.
> if I were really going to implement such a thing, I'd maybe target something more low-level (e.g. without garbage collection, RTS, etc.) so that I could tease out as much performance as possible. Languages like Zig, Terra, Nim or Rust.

> “Zig is aggressively pursuing its goal of overthrowing C as the de facto language for system programming. Zig intends to be so practical that people find themselves using it even if they dislike it.” – Zig.

> Have you checked Zig (https://ziglang.org/) and Red/System (https://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs.html)? They are still in their infancy, but show some promise to hit the sweet spot of being a kind of modern C replacement. 
> I haven’t heard of Zig! Thanks for pointing it out. It looks pretty neat. I think when it gets a little bit more mature, I might have to give it a try.

> Zig is like a C on the level of abstraction but built with memory ~safety~ awareness up front.
> It is possible to cross-compile one program to 3 platforms. It claims to produce more efficient code and compile-time suppose to be good.
> What really draws my attention to this language is passion of the author and novice approach to memory allocation problem. Most of the different languages don't talk about what would happen if we run out memory. Memory-aware language combined with unikernel (which is also written in that language) seems to be a very powerful idea. Don't take it from me - listen to the author.

> systems programming languages tend to be complex, and Rust is no exception, but I really don't see how you could replace generics and whole program optimization (aka. link time optimization, aka. LTO, which BTW rustc's LLVM bulid definitely has by default) with CTFE. Also saying that traits and the borrow checker are not practical is interesting, what you are looking for is C++, there you don't have to worry about traits (until concepts land) and the borrow checker (since it's impossible to implement it properly in a library).
