I'm always impressed by Zig's targets support. I'm starting to think that it might be the only language that competes with C on this regard.

I'm looking forward to see what the new build integration can unlock on the tooling side.

What I'm looking for the most for the next release(s):

- New stackless coroutine IO implementation

- First class fuzzer tooling

You should not worry. They said they would make a short release cycle for updating to 23.

Love it. I wish it included zig.

This looks awesome. Do you have video show casing you diagnosing a problem with it?

Agreed. This blog post strikes the balance between PR-speak and x.com

I've read somewhere that the longer-term goal is to move the build system into a WebAssembly VM. If so, this is incredible.

I don't know men. I do hang out in the handmade Discord from time to time, and Bill has not been very kind, to say the least.

Maybe I just met him on a bad day.

Yep. How will we manage those 10x code projects, when LLMs cost increases by 10x?

Bun is now over 1M lines of Rust code.

This is approaching the size of the Rust compiler itself; except that BunJs is mostly a JavaScript interpreter wrapper + a reimplementation of the NodeJS library (Rust STD wrapper).

I think BunJS is becoming the canary for software complexity management in the LLM era.

For embedded/kernel programmers: Is there a linux equivalent of this book?

+1 The zig toolchain is the state of the art currently.

For me, it's the toolchain. The Zig cross-compiler is beyond anything I've seen.

Yeah that was my also my thought.

I always understood that if you give a thread to each actor you get the "active object" design pattern.
