Published 2021-03-19 Updated 2022-09-21 I keep seeing discussions that equate zig's level of memory safety with c (or occasionally with rust!). Neither is particularly accurate. This is an attempt at a more detailed breakdown. This article is limited to memory safety. See Assorted thoughts on zig and rust for a more general comparison. I'm concerned mostly with security. In practice, it doesn't seem that any level of testing is sufficient to prevent vulnerabilities due to memory safety in la

Odin is a general-purpose systems programming language authored by Bill “gingerBill” Hall. Designed as a modern alternative to C, Odin emphasizes simplicity, performance, and readability without sacrificing control over low-level details. The website says it’s “data-oriented”, and features such as SOA (structs-of-arrays) and implicit zero initialization tie into that. Despite this focus, the language surprisingly has dynamic maps and arrays built into the language itself. While the memory is st

One year ago, I started programming a puzzle game from scratch in Zig. While it’s too early to announce the game (more on this later in the year), I want to share some of the insights I’ve gained about gamedev in Zig so far. I’m writing this because I’ve seen a lot of takes on Zig from folks who’ve spent a relatively short amount of time with the language (e.g. for Advent of Code), but relatively few from people who’ve used the language for more than a year. While the insights and examples bel

Things Zig comptime Won’t Do Es el disco de Odín. Tiene un solo lado. En la tierra no hay otra cosa que tenga un solo lado. Zig’s comptime feature is most famous for what it can do: generics!, conditional compilation!, subtyping!, serialization!, ORM! That’s fascinating, but, to be fair, there’s a bunch of languages with quite powerful compile time evaluation capabilities that can do equivalent things. What I find more interesting is that Zig comptime is actually quite restrictive, by design,

📈 Zack: A Simple Backtesting Engine in Zig 📉 Welcome to Zack! This project is a lightweight yet powerful backtesting engine for trading strategies, written entirely in Zig ⚡. It allows you to test your trading ideas against historical market data to see how they might have performed. 🤔 What is it? Zack simulates the process of trading based on a predefined strategy using historical OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. It processes data bar-by-bar, generates trading signals, simulates

GPU programming used to mean wrangling C++ compilers, bloated SDKs, and vendor-specific toolchains. That’s changing. You can now write GPU code in modern languages like Rust and Zig with fewer layers. This post walks through the current state of Zig’s GPU backends and how they stack up across Vulkan, OpenCL, and native ISAs. SPIR-V, PTX and AMDGCN Zig’s GPU backend support has been steadily evolving. After roughly 4 years, the self-hosted SPIR-V backend is now mature enough to experiment with

Accelerated Zig Parser A high-throughput tokenizer and parser (soon™️) for the Zig programming language. The mainline Zig tokenizer uses a deterministic finite state machine. Those are pretty good for some applications, but tokenizing can often employ the use of other techniques for added speed. Two tokenizer implementations are provided. A version that produces a few bitstrings per 64-byte chunk and uses those to skip over continuation-character matching. I gave two talks on this subject. (

We recently rebuilt TigerBeetle’s docs site from scratch. We wanted to apply TigerStyle and first principles thinking, not only to our database but also to our docs. To give users the fastest possible experience, given how much time they spend reading, and to do this without the dependency of Docusaurus. At TigerBeetle, how we build things is as important as what we build, because methodology has a second order effect on motivation. When TigerBeetle was founded, Docusaurus was used to prototype

Building Statically Linked Go Executables with CGO and Zig This is a short post about how to create a statically linked Go executable that calls in to CGO dependencies using Zig. The full code for this post is available in this repo. By default, if you're using CGO, the executable you generate dynamically links, but I frequently want to statically link to avoid runtime errors. First, let's create a zig library, with zig init, then trim back the excess stuff it generates so we're left just wit
