Zig Build System Internals
Zig has a built-in build system for building projects. It runs on every platform Zig supports and is capable of building everything from simple executables and libraries to complex, multi-artifact, multi-step projects. This page will dive into how the internals of the Zig build system works. Build systems are an extremely important detail of any software project. When they work, they can feel like
Looking into Zig
I think that it was the Pragmatic Programmer that recommend that you should learn a new language a year. For me, in 2020 that was Rust. I read a bunch of books about the language, I read significant amount of code and wrote some non trivial amount of code in Rust. That was sufficient to get me to grok the language, I’m not a Rust developer by any mean, but I walked with Rusty shoes for long enough
Zig, Skia, Clojure, Geometry and the Japanese TV Show: ICFP Contest 2021 Every year I participate in ICFP Contest, or ICFPC for short (ICFP stands for International Conference on Functional Programming). This is a team coding challenge that lasts for 72 hours and in which you have to solve a series of very hard tasks by writing (functional) code. Tasks are usually too hard to find a perfect soluti
Sat, May 22, 2021This post is a spiritual successor to Loris Cro’s Go cross-compilation. The encounterDuring a recent stage 2 meeting, Jakub Konka wanted to demo his progress on WASM support, but ran into problems with screen-sharing on Linux. After switching to his Mac to run it there, he found out that Wasmtime (a WASM runtime) doesn’t ship aarch64-macos pre-built binaries. But Wasmtime is an op
"I learned Zig in a weekend! …Six hours! …6µs!" say the blissful lizards. Followed by something to the effect of, "It’s easy to pick up because the syntax is so simple." That’s a sentiment I’ve seen thrown around a lot since 2016’s announcement, Introduction to the Zig Programming Language (andrewkelly.me). Clearly, many folks really do find Zig easy to learn. Veteran C programmers, in particula
This is the text format of a talk I did for Zig Showtime. If you'd rather watch the video, you can find it on YouTube: Zig Showtime: Ghostty. The video also includes a Q&A session at the end which I did not include in this post. Hello! I'm excited to talk today about Ghostty. Ghostty is a brand new terminal emulator written from scratch in Zig. Note: at the time of writing this, Ghostty is still n
