#Zig

15 posts15 participants2 posts today

Going from #zig to #scheme via the C ABI feels kinda dirty at times:

For every feature Iwant to expose from Zig to Scheme, I need a function in Zig which pretends to be C while wrapping an idiomatic Zig function. Then I tell Scheme about that function, so it can magically make that Zig function pretending to be a C function pretend to be a Scheme function.

Both Zig and Scheme support a function optionally returning an error rather than a value. C does not. So you have to take a pointer detour.

Edit2: it looks like we're going to have to call tonight off. We'll get back to the emulator on Tuesday! Have a good weekend!

Tonight, at roughly 8:30 PM Eastern, I'll be going live to continue working on my 6502 #emulator in #Zig!

We're pretty close to actually executing some assembly!

hesitating between writing the klutshnik.info server in c or in #zig. i'd prefer zig as it seems to shut up people about memory safety, but then the core would still be liboprf which is written in c already. and it would make deployment more difficult, since #zig is not packaged in debian and other major distros. so i guess using zig would only be 4 cosmetic/populist reasons, and at the same time it would limit deployment. what should i do (no rust/go are not options)

Hey I'm still looking for work.
I've applied to a lot of places in my area and I'm getting nothing.

I'm a programmer at heart, but I've also been looking for regular entry-level jobs because there haven't been any coding positions open at my level as far as I could tell.

If you can offer me a job, it might save my butt. And if you can't offer me a job, could you at least share this post?

I live 30 minutes away from Bellevue if that helps.
