Such a great talk. As more talks are given, the more I realize what a great choice it was to pick up and invest time on Zig at the start of this year. The alternative was Rust. Keep up the great work devs.
Keeping a close watch at Zig, really agree with it's design principles. I am actually waiting for WASM backend support to do the jump into learning it, for now sticking to rust.
Does this mean zig-cc can also compile C++ natively? If so: huge respect! that's incredibly difficult to achieve - even if reusing LLVM Clang C++ frontend!
@@NathanHedglin Go WANTED to replace C++ in some areas, with how it was advertised as a "systems programming language", but it mostly ended up competing with Python and Java instead. (and arguably some server-side Javascript stuff)
@@109Rage I agree. I generally see Go used in backend web apps competing with NodeJS / Deno. Go seems to be heavily used in DevOps and Kubernetes tooling. Every now and then I run across some new CLI application written in Go, but generally Rust seems to be the language of choice in that area.
lmao 250$ reward from Google they may as well give nothing
good to see Zig reaching production 💚

@@daniellevymoreno1141 I just started learning it. I learned go before that sort of. I like zig so far
@@daniellevymoreno1141 now zig can do wasm go ham
That was a sweet talk! Such a pleasure to hear the genuine stories, thanks to Motiejus for presenting!
Pretty cool that you managed to get some sponsorship from Uber.

Great to hear that story.
Deploying Zig to production on friday xDDDDD
so when to sponsor zig then?
Puikiai!
is this how uber info got hacked multiple times ?
Its great to see, how stupid complicated systems are born. Create a monorepo lol. Now I will never ever think of applying to this place.
Whooooo! Ziggers unite!
Only because of THE GOD willed it that way
God sent Zig to earth
Zig vs Rust vs Golang vs C++
I think Zig is meant to compete with C, and Rust with C++
Go doesn't really fit.
Add carbon as well to this
