it's not obvious what i'm looking at so that's a flaw
is it some kind of static shock reference

It's the new model for a fully automated ACK assembly.
Chase Baker
i'm not sure what that is but good for you

based zig, left rust in the dust

What are you using for comparison?
Evan Butler
Not an argument against the language, just against the stage one compiler, try again.
Brody Garcia
it's starting to have retard shills

>implying that his numbers aren't made up
compiling the zig compiler takes less than 30 minutes to build on my system. gcc takes ~3 hours; rust fails because it exhausts the address space. try it by yourself
Joseph Campbell
not sure what made you think it was supposed to be an argument against the language, I guess you just see aggression everywhere
Owen Reed
That's the compiler, though. Zig uses clang internally so it makes sense that it's smaller. He was talking about a big program, not the respective compilers.
>Zig shill

Pick one.

stg zigbros are going to be the new gophers once andrew has succesfully axed out traditional string formatting

David Smith
compilers are big programs. do you think he took a big codebase and ported it to 4 different languages just to post it in 4chin without providing proof or source? think for a second
Elijah White
You don't need to porn C programs to Zig, like I said, it uses clang. And rust can probably compile C as well, right?
Hudson Gutierrez
>has succesfully axed out traditional string formatting
What does that even mean?
William Harris
There was an HN comment where Andrew Kelley said he hated the way you format strings in C/Python/Java/whatever with the printf function that all these languages have. He wanted to have a "better alternative" because the traditional way is "horrible". Can't find where he left the comment though
So expect printf to change

Apperently I also misquoted mr AK-47. Woops

/* Not using this yet
var sneed : string;

This kills the zigger
Carson Clark
String is not a type, s o y man, seethe more. The only people who think string or char should be atomic types, are people who don't know anything about text encoding.
Nicholas Allen
Zig already has a better alternative to sprintf, because the format operations in zig happen monstly at compile time, which makes them way faster than anything other languages could come up with. There isn't going to be a string type, if that's what you're hinting at.
Juan Butler
Does it have typedefs/distinctness types yet? It'd be nice to do gamedev in Zig if I could distinguish all of the OpenGL types and throw compile time errors on mixing them.
