Unit tests in zig will fail if the tested code leaks memory.

I guess the 'zit' name was already taken by something else.


The radeon 8500 deserves to be on that list. It still has active Linux support under mesa.


HTML is not something to hold up as the standard for documentation.


Why not just use zig for the entire thing?


Not to be confused with zlib.


Except for all the baggage it carries along with it including hacks to address baggage resulting in a very bloated language.


The goal is C replacement, not some abstract perfection.


Quaternions are left handed spinors. Please use the correct unified math models (clidfford algebra) rather than these 3d only hacks.


Describing those algebras in quaternion terms simplifies understanding most of them. Like biquaternions and dual quaternions.

A 2d quaternion just has no j or k term and works for 2d math.


Having worked with c++ strings and also string views I find zigs simple fat pointer to be fairly direct and straightforward, and a bit refreshing. Ownership is being coupled in with the type..


And then zig shows up...
