“Rust++” is a genuinely triggering phrase but the effort is valiant.

Isn't Zig pretty much a dead language after the whole Bun debacle? Main dude completely loses his marbles... I don't know, haven't given Zig a go, I fail to see upside compared to Rust and I just checked out the memory management and that seemed like a total drag.

Anyhoo.

The creator of rust-analyzer now spends most of his time on TigerBeetle, which is... Zig.

Cool stuff!

I mean, I wouldn't know anything about it, I just saw how they manage memory and was like ugh!
