Whether Zig will become dominant in that space remains to be seen.
- nsvd2 3mo agoWhile true, that doesn't distinguish between Zig and Rust, as both allow you to manually allocate memory and create custom data structures.
- liampulles 3mo agoOk, but doing manual memory management in Rust is a bit like digging a ditch with a spoon. I get that its technically possible, that does not mean it should be done outside the most exceptional of circumstances.
