  1. Hey, if any of y'all are interested in learning #C, I made a project in the spirit of #rustlings and #ziglings: Ceilings! It's still a WIP, but if you know #cprogramming, and there are any improvements to be made, pls open an issue (or better yet, fork)! I'm making the exercises as I learn C myself, following along with my old copy of K&R and a PDF of C Programming: A Modern Approach 😇

  2. Ever tried a #TilingWindowManager for an efficient workflow? Using #Wayland already?

    Check out codeberg.org/river/river #riverWM, a tiling Wayland compositor.

    It supports custom "layout generators" and we found an active ecosystem of tools and plugins for the project.

    If you know some #Ziglang, you can start hacking right away, or dive into the #ziglings excercises to learn it: codeberg.org/ziglings/exercise

    Let us know what you think if you tried it!

  3. @bugwhisperer And I see you're into #Zig too! Lots of fun and learning. #ziglings and the Zig track on Exercism are great too, although it doesn't have as many exercises as Rust yet

  4. Going through
    When it comes to minimal languages, I feel that Zig has much greater potential than Go. But tooling-wise, Go has the edge for now.

    Honestly, the consistency and elegance of Zig is blowing my mind.

  5. was cool.

    It took me longer to complete than I thought, but that's only because I got distracted by other things, not because it was hard.

    (I was expected a week's worth of free time, but judging by the dates of this thread, it took me a bit more than a month)

  6. I've been exploring #zig, a "better C"
    Still has footguns, but you have to want to hurt yourself...
    The compiler uses clang and takes C which makes it good for gradual rewrites
    The #ziglings tutorial is a fun tour of the language, github.com/ratfactor/ziglings
    I've just pushed my first program to github. A tiny UART shell suitable for microcontrollers just needing a read and write function
    It's using termios currently, for a posix shell
