      i really want to get into zig. im too old uncool for rust, and zigs tiny size really appeals.https://twitter.com/NunoPLeiria/status/1375200825560158211 …

      Within one week I went from no experience with @ziglang to making a small patch to the standard library. After so many years with C++ this is very encouraging. The source is right there, it's readable, I can change it for myself, and I can contribute back.

      You really should check out jai, it’s also a small, c-like language made by the designer of The Witness and Braid

      Where can I download the Jai compiler to tinker with the language though? Googling yields nothing.

      It’s still in closed beta, but if you send an email to @Jonathan_Blow I’m sure he will add you

      Hmm yeah, I can sort of understand that he doesn't want to open the floodgates just yet, but at the same time there's a whiff of gatekeeping and elitism ;) It's a strange development model for sure when pretty much all other languages are developed in the open by now.

      If you want to make something different than what exists, it's maybe a good idea to do things differently than how they are usually done.

          I perfectly understand why it might be difficult to work in the open, it is mostly a cultural / psychological thing. I also have a really hard time sharing something that I consider to not be fully baked. But in the case of Jai, it might stunt its potential growth...
