| | | | | [AI summary] The author argues that Rust's borrowchecker causes serious ergonomic problems and overstates its role in memory safety, suggesting that the effort required to satisfy it often outweighs the benefits compared to garbage-collected languages. | |

| | | I've started learning Zig, a new programming language in the same problem space as C, and it has some features I really like. While it's not memory-safe in the Rust way, it has a lot of compile time and runtime checks to prevent common footguns. It has packed structs and variable-width integers to allow for easy parsing of bitpacked binary formats. Its comptime metaprogramming capabilities are spectacular. And it even interoperates seamlessly with C! | ||
