C++ and rust make these optionals ugly. Zig does it right. Zig also forbids null pointers and requires use of optionals.

That's called a fat pointer. Null terminated c strings is the majority of memory errors out there.

I was doing this for remote sensing orthorectification work back in 2004/2005. It works very well across multiple types of imaging sensors.

I personally think something like the qok format is a better way to go. Make something that performs well and is dirt simple to implement.

It's pretty sad it used to not be so bad in the US. This is what happens when ethics and morals are removed from the culture.

I would think that you might have a better time going from go to zig. You would have to provide a pattern for implementing the interface model go uses.

Zig fails unit tests if there's a memory leak in those tests.

One of the core design principles of zig is no implied behavior.

Unit tests in zig will fail if the tested code leaks memory.

I guess the 'zit' name was already taken by something else.

The radeon 8500 deserves to be on that list. It still has active Linux support under mesa.

Why not just use zig for the entire thing?

Not to be confused with zlib.

Except for all the baggage it carries along with it including hacks to address baggage resulting in a very bloated language.

Quaternions are left handed spinors. Please use the correct unified math models (clidfford algebra) rather than these 3d only hacks.

Having worked with c++ strings and also string views I find zigs simple fat pointer to be fairly direct and straightforward, and a bit refreshing. Ownership is being coupled in with the type..

I remember seeing this a long time ago and liking it, I just didn't have a use for it at the time. How does it stack up against luahit for perf and memory, and threading? It also looks like it could be worth looking at porting the compiler to zig which excels at both compiler writing and cross platform tooling.
