I've been playing around with some

2024-03-04 00:50:02.570265+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

I've been playing around with some parser ideas, in Objective-C because I see some need for those concepts in work, but I'm thinking a language that works for other applications would be cool, so I'm like "maybe I should write that in C++, or... I've been wanting to learn Rust!"

And then I start to look at Rust, and all of the other things I could be learning, and man I'm just unmotivated to be learning technologies for their own sake right now. And that's kinda sad.

If you're wanting a new language, Zig is kind of the "Rust, but for C" alternative. It's not quite as safe as Rust, but has a whole lot less ceremony. It's also early in its development, so there's rough spots and missing features. But I like their goals of being fast to compile.
