Rust vs Zig

2021-03-26 21:50:53.21091+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Fascinating comparison of Rust and Zig:

Also, to explain why I struggled with Rust I’ll have to show a lot of complex code that I’m obviously unhappy about. My intent here is not to gripe about Rust, but to establish my (lack of) credibility: It’s so you can judge for yourself whether I’m using Rust’s features in a reasonable way or if I’ve totally lost the plot.

Finally, while it risks falling into the dreadfully boring “language X is better than Y” blog trope, I feel that it’d be more helpful to some readers if I explicitly compare Rust and Zig, rather than write a wholly positive “Zig’s great!” article. (After all, I’d steadily ignored six months of Jamie gushing about Zig because, “that’s great buddy, but I already know Rust and I just want to get my keyboard done, okay?”)
