#zig + #neovim + LazyVim question. I'm using the master version of zig, and I have the right version of zls installed. However, I'm experiencing a problem with Mason, which insists, infuriatingly, on automatically installing the stable version of zls and making the lsp use it. Does anyone know how to get it to stop? Do I just need to remove zig from LazyExtras? Thanks!
#zig
After doing #AdventOfCode in #Zig, I don't think I've ever missed writing #Rust more.
I feel like often people see Rust just as a memory-safe alternative to C/C++ and miss that is a genuinely enjoyable language to work with.
Finally got to a point where I can grab directory info, list files and folders, and even open a file 🎉
Still a long way before I can use #Zig without taking two steps back every time I try something new, but hey, I am only ~11-12 hours into learning a whole new language 🙂
Zig needs to add a hard copiler error for using spaces for indentation instead of tabs, because it is a #footgun to use a non-flexible indentation, and also for writing too many comments in one place because if you can't read the code to understand, you already have too many #footguns , and you are a bad programmer, and you have to stop programming, as we have stated in zig zen "Focus on code rather than style.
", this is not about style. #zig #ziglang #Zigtools #programming #codestyle
Zig gotcha 🤦
After too much time, I just found out that the stdin().reader takeDelimiterExclusive function doesn’t re-read stdin on retry! Input is lazy loaded into the buffer, so retrying on error just reads form the same buffer.
Still learning the basics.

Simple web framework on #OpenBSD using #zig and #fastcgi ,
and it's really mostly #C code right now, which is sorta the
point for me and learning zig.

🚀 Oh joy, yet another "minimalist" virtual machine sandbox, because clearly the world was in dire need of one more single #C file marvel 🤦♂️. Apparently, cramming #Rust, C, and #Zig into a tiny box is the new party trick for the #microcontroller elite 🛠️. Who needs memory allocations or readability when you can have the ultimate C99 purist badge of honor? 🏆

Rofl #GitHub Actions is/was apparently so broken that #Zig decided to move to #Codeberg a few weeks ago.

Apparently the thing that was too much for Zig is a HORRIFYING bug causing runners to run forever because of a broken sleep script.

Good. The more projects leave GitHub, the better.

From the LightPanda developer:
Why We Built Lightpanda in Zig
<< I like simple languages. I like Zig for the same reasons I like Go, C, and the KISS principle. Not just because I believe in this philosophy, but because I’m not capable of handling complicated abstractions at scale. >>

okay perhaps the third thing i wrote in #zig should not have jumped right into `comptime’ type inspection but you know i love looking at my phone and seeing it’s 04:00
To not loose concentration on my MS-DOS game I decided to not do any new engine now but concentrate on tooling.
So from now on I will learn Zig + Raylib while making tools supproting the assembly code. First a sprite editor that will be able to open and save compressed sprites I'm using. It will also allow for easy palettes edits in one place.
Here is first test of UI. Pre-alpha stage. Warmup.
Hit stream #10 this morning. Finally building a first Zig project (just console input/output). Still tripping on the language details, and even simple error handling feels like a brick wall. Slow progress, but that’s the process.
Onward! 😃
Kudos to #zig for deciding to move off github. More FLOSS projects should do the same.
Learning rust, hare, and zig has made me like C more :P
In the case of hare and zig (I like them both) it's because
of the ubiquity of C that makes me like it.
It's funny to me that I have always known C++ so kinda by
extension C. (with caveats i know)
But only recently have I really dived into C and leveling
up. So it's a new language to me. And I have years of experience
with languages and tradeoffs. Like I am not an idealist young
person anymore, C is just fine.
Or put another way... I will be dead if I wait for the C replacement.
(For me it's not rust, plz don't suggest it.)
