Nice post on how to approach problems suitable for SIMD.

While some rewrite from Zig to Rust... others follow the opposite path. This is an interesting read pointing the strengths and weaknesses of both ecosystem. There's no one size fits all in our field so it's important to have this kind of explorations.

Interesting look at Zig's comptime feature. It's not a purely Zig post though, does a good job of explaining parametricity and the implications of loosing it.

This is indeed interesting to see how the landscape evolved around error handling. There's clearly a tension between exceptions and the result types we've seen popping up everywhere now.

They both have their niches and it's welcome in my opinion. Now there are questions about the long term viability of Zig's ecosystem... the niche being smaller it's more at risk.

The concept of allocators in general and arena allocators in particular is too little know. Here is a little article which rediscover the motives behind them. It's a good introduction to the topic.

Interesting article. There's clearly space for both languages indeed. They'll end up having each their own ecological niches, probably with some overlap.

In the end, this is a nice conversation about language design...
