#zig — Public Fediverse posts

In my quest for using -fincremental in Zig I've so far found and fixed 3 fairly critical linker bugs. (Sent a PR for one of them, got to do it for the other two but I'm a little bit uncertain about the details on one of them.)

Seems I'm going to have to implement a few relocation types as well, which means I'm probably going to have to understand the implementation on higher level and not just specific local details.

I'm in for a treat. 😬

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@kristoff/116488267530388091

This was so refreshing to read, and it made me love Zig even more as a learner. From my reading, I think the essential distinction is whether the contributors actually think about and acknowledge the changes (and the design of those changes) they're making.

In light of that, the AI ban itself isn't the "perfect" borderline, I think. It's because there are a lot of developers who can utilize AI as a tool, driven by their own thinking, decisions, and understanding (using AI for searching parts of code, online documentation, and less hallucination-prone code generation with good human review would be good examples). So I understand Zig's policy as having a clear boundary on that, even if it's not perfect as intended. But at the same time, I can think of two things for software development in general (not directly to Zig's) with great respect and love for the current Zig's AI policy.

One is that it might be okay to allow the core development team to use AI since they're trusted not to misuse it. Second, it's more intrinsic if there were a good metric to deterministically check contributors' understanding. Not perfectly aligned with the second point, but letting them write the PR comment in their own words could be a more mitigated solution than a strong AI ban, if I allow AI use while upholding the philosophy I felt was behind that.

I'd be glad if anyone could share their thoughts on this.

It seems, #Bun is being rewritten from #zig to #Rust (at least there is an experimental branch, so nothing is decided yet). Comments suggest that the most probable reason of that is that Zig's maintainers do not receive AI assisted contributions and harshly oppose *any* #AI use.
In my opinion, it's their gravest error: Zig is young, pre-1.0, and having this radical anti-AI position will decrease the number of people adopting it even more.
I thought about writing a project in Zig, because to be honest, I like it better than Rust, but now… no.

Когда на Rust уже всё переписали

Мем про переписывание всего на Rust в итоге стал индустриальным стандартом. Безопасность памяти и строгий компилятор реально решают кучу проблем. Но на практике регулярно всплывают задачи, где архитектурные рамки Раста только мешают и заставляют бороться с языком. Писать системные сетевые сервисы на C в 2026ом году можно, но CVE на переполнение буфера вам выпишут быстрее, чем вы допишете свой Makefile. Как говорится: Rust не позволит вам выстрелить себе в ногу. Zig позволит с радостью, но перед этим попросит явно передать аллокатор. В двух последних проектах, в разработке которых я участвую, был выбран Zig. Я не буду продавать язык как идеальный (он объективно сырой), но ниже будет разбор реального опыта.
