Great article I think. I don’t have a lot of experience in zig, but I feel like it’s just a better version of C. More specifically, C with a more modern synthax, better defined behaviour, better error handling. As the author highlights it, using the comptime and reflection to make generics can easily become a footgun and make the code messy. But hey, having the option to make generic code is still better than C.

Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler’s constant :p

To be fair, “they” could probably train AI on Lemmy data, they just won’t ask for permission and won’t be charged for it

Nooooo :/ Then I have no more time to go running after work in the fall and spring :c

Maybe we need “winter time” in the summer and “summer time” in the winter?
