Some Thoughts on Zig

An article of Chris Krycho's serveral thoughts on Zig.

A positive framing (of one part at least!) from someone who is distinctly not here for what the language is selling.

Rust is one of my major langs, of course I like it, but I also thought Zig is much more suitable for Linux kernel. IMHO:

• small, feature-less but clean and well designed
• steerable panic levels / modes
• easier to in-tree compiling
• smooth two-way interoperability to C

What a great pity that Zig is not very stable and familiar by people at that time when kernel is open a window to adopt new languages.
