I heard of Flux for the first time a couple of weeks ago (and haven’t tried it, or zig either): https://medium.com/@karacvonthweatt/the-language-after-rust-and-zig-b5c2f44c0e57 “Compile-time code in Flux is Flux. … anything you can do at runtime, in the same syntax” sounds nice in theory.

Lack of shared data structure implementations is one of the main downsides to C. What’s your favorite workaround? ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td859d3c6cefc922f-M5237c94b7097378624071f87 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
