Thread 106339462

Daily reminder that Zig and Odin still doesn't have ANY scripting languages written in it, but Hare does:

Zig bros ...?
Odin bros ...?
(don't get me started on Jai)

How horrifying

>>106339462 (OP)
isn't he supposed to be a loli lover?
why would any one use a language from such person?

>>106339462 (OP)
Scripting languages are garbage. I only wish Odin would hurry up with os2 and get better 32-bit support.

>>106339462 (OP)
What do we know about Hare? Who invented it and what problem did they seek out to solve by inventing it?

>>106339609
its a "better C" for those that cant limit them self on using a subset of C++

>>106339609
a much simpler Zig with a rational build/module system

>>106339545
Uhhh, no? I think you meant to say gratifying

Garbage scripting language

Fuck off Jew DeVault

>>106339462 (OP)
I saw on twitter that someone made an embed interpreter that lets you run Lisp directly from Zig.
Can't find a source anymore or perhaps I just hallucinated.

It's some "better C" (one of many, except that finally someone got it right)

It ass some mild safety like nonnullable pointers and slices (to avoid pointer arithmetic) + better string management + fantastic error handling (via anonymous tagged unions)

os2 is already pretty much usable, just do
import os "core:os/os2"

and later when they replace os it's literally one-line change
