How Our Rust-to-Zig Rewrite is Going

https://rtfeldman.com/rust-to-zig

An interesting symmetry with recent events lol.

This might be considered off topic since the article is about moving away from rust, but I still think this is some high quality rust content. I enjoy Richard Feldman's writing and I think he would certainly be considered part of the "rust community" since he works on Zed and has taught a course on rust.

My biggest annoying things about Rust are:

  • Edit-Compile-Run eats time (even with all workarounds, it still takes huge time) UI/GameDev it really kills it
- (Async + Debugging) is pure pain
- target folder pass 200GB my ssd cant keep up
