00:37:19FromDiscord<zkopt_> In reply to @optional_superboss "I'm trying. It's brilliant.": why terrifying??
00:38:12FromDiscord<zkopt_> I can't understand why zig selected manual memory management rather then RAII
00:38:19FromDiscord<zkopt_> (edit) "then" => "than"
00:39:30FromDiscord<zkopt_> but zigcc is very interesting, and charming point of zig ecosystem
00:40:01*jj quit (Remote host closed the connection)
00:40:28*jj joined #nim
00:40:30FromDiscord<zkopt_> but it's obvious that if nim and zig do not develop system that can't be taken by other language(especially Rust), rust will take all market shares
00:41:25FromDiscord<zkopt_> and this shows nim's way
00:41:42FromDiscord<zkopt_> not pure nim, the only nim
00:42:19FromDiscord<dykatz> I don't think anyone cares that much about language market share
00:42:26FromDiscord<dykatz> We're just going to use what we want to use
00:42:28FromDiscord<zkopt_> nono that's important
00:42:35FromDiscord<zkopt_> ecosystem should grow
00:43:07FromDiscord<dykatz> The Rust ecosystem is big, but still doesn't have a good GUI library
00:43:23FromDiscord<zkopt_> um..
00:43:42FromDiscord<zkopt_> how about freya
00:43:50FromDiscord<zkopt_> not pure rust(use skia) but quite good
00:45:11FromDiscord<zkopt_> and there's tauri(also not pure rust) but rising alternative for electron
00:47:21FromDiscord<zkopt_> if ecosystem and community don't grow, then, next-generation compiler devs are not flow in to↵and you know you can't develop with single comiler↵there's many library needs
00:47:26FromDiscord<zkopt_> (edit) "needs" => "need"

00:50:29FromDiscord<zkopt_> being multi-domain compiler framework
00:52:41FromDiscord<dykatz> Nim also cares about memory safety, though
00:52:51FromDiscord<dykatz> And high performance
00:52:59FromDiscord<dykatz> I'm not sure what you are arguing about
00:54:26FromDiscord<dykatz> Have you identified some key weakness where a library or feature you would want to use is missing?

00:56:32FromDiscord<zkopt_> and there's no simd abstraction
00:56:38FromDiscord<zkopt_> and there's no GPGPU abstraction too
