woah, the 0.13 doc never mentions the destructuring syntax ! Although tbh, this syntax seems to be of very limited use if only arrays can be destructured. But that's one of the big issues with the language: the doc sucks big time (esp. the doc of the std lib which is a joke, the std lib itself seems to be an afterthought). I wish the doc was a wiki, so that people could at least contribute. Instead of that, it's a single, huge 15,000 lines of HTML page that noone wants to edit.

The problem with the philosophy "this is how we implement interfaces in Zig" vs actual interfaces is, people will never use these design patterns simply because they don't know them. The user manual never really mentions them (it talks about the Allocator interface once), and doesn't explain any of these patterns. You have to look at the code of the Allocator interface to see how it's implemented. About 1% of the developers will ever do that. And even if they manage to understand, most will think it's just too much hassle. Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel, because it treats in depth a lot of material that one can see nowhere else.

Hi i was wondering if you have a Go course in English?

Hey. Please consider making a video on multi-dimensional arrays and slices and different methods of passing them to functions as I'm having difficulty understanding these. Thanks a lot!

these videos are solid and helpful idk why theres hardly any views or no comments. but thank you for the content much loved!

you so slooooow… 🤦‍♂️

Thanks fr great content. I come from a little knowledge of C++ (I haven't write pure C that much) my daily job is in C++ but I think learning some other things like Rust or Zig is gonna be good for me and honestly I don't like the super complexity of C++ either. I hope zig would be my future development arena. By the way you have a great forum with so much cool stuff 👍

Thank you!

second example blew my mind 😱 im very interested in learning zig now!

Peer if and peer add work only if "a" (integer) is comptime known, because the compiler can coerce it to float.

Truly extraordinary and detailed content! Congratulations.

great content man - appreciate you making so many in depth videos on zig

The real world example is execellent! I suggest doing a series of networking (UDP, TCP) in Zig. That would be amazing!

thank you for the amazing explanation!!

thanks for the video!! great stuff!

thank you for the great video on memory layout in zig. cheers!

I can achieve same output with this: const f_slice = array[start..]; so why [0..length]; necessary? Thanks for the series, your channel very valuable to community!

this is EXACTLY the video I wanted for a conceptual overview of memory in Zig. thanks!

Thanks for this amazing series! I got the example on RwLock to work in zig 0.14.0-dev.850+ddcb7b1c1 by using `.unlockShared` instead of `.unlock`.

Build script for Zig v0.13.0: const std = @import("std"); pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void { const target = b.resolveTargetQuery(.{ .cpu_arch = .wasm32, .os_tag = .freestanding, }); const optimize = std.builtin.OptimizeMode.ReleaseSmall; const exe = b.addExecutable(.{ .name = "wasmstr", .root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"), .target = target, .optimize = optimize, }); exe.rdynamic = true; // use this // exe.root_module.export_symbol_names = &.{ "alloc", "free", "add", "sub", "zlog" }; // instead of this exe.entry = .disabled; b.installArtifact(exe); }

When working with arrays of u16 or similar smaller types requiring frequent iterations, is it worth doing alignCast to 64 or something like that at initialization to get the initial pointer aligned up with a word? (Or will it automatically be, maybe?)

So when you use the || to create a new set, is that essentially equivalent to having just defined some error set ParseError that has equivalent entries to the ones in InputError and NumberError? Or is there still some indirection between ParseError and the sets that make it up?

Doing a job search and such now so a bit busy, but I was planning on giving C an indepth look when I get settled, should I skip C and go straight to Zig?

thanks for this amazing series, I have a question, can I make those "is a tuple" assertions in compile time ? I want to prevent my program to panic at runtime due to a bad input that is known at compile time that it would failed, in this scenario that we made. like the 42 and the struct with named fields.

Excellent!

exe.addCSourceFile(.{ .file = b.path("src/math.c") }); exe.root_module.addIncludePath(b.path("src")); this is what I had to do to make it work on 0.14.0

Arguments to functions being immutable had me confused for a while. I wonder why Zig does not error if a function makes a modification to an argument that was not passed in as a pointer. At least that's what I saw when I was trying to modify a struct that I passed in (without using pointers).

Nice stuff about zig, have you tried other langs like Odin and C3? What made you choose Zig?

extremely helpful video thank you.

que excelente papa, gracias por estos videazos tanto de rust como estos. los de rust siempre los utilizo como referencia.

Great visualizations make it so easy to understand.

Thank you. Can you suggest how to study zig in effectively? I would like to know if reviewing repos help or make it worse? I don't have low level background, only Python, Typescript.

useful info. cheers

Great content; learned a ton. I am warming up to kickstart after first rejecting it and doing manual config.

I know a little bit of c++ should I invest my time in zig because I've come to know it is much safer compared to c and c++ in terms of memory leaks and thing ?

"stud fumt" seriously? you do know that's "standard" "format" right?

Excelente contenido 👌🏻

I think you are allocating new memory even though you still have space for one more element. In your example, you double the capacity from 8 to 16 when you add the 7th element (index 6). Therefore, you still have space for an 8th element.

Thanks for the content ❤

Is ending every other sentense with "OK" something that will remain during the playlist? I guess I have to filter it out in my brain somehow :D

I kinda wanted to try out nvim for some time and finally gonna give it a try now. Thanks for the video!

This is great stuff, man! This example is exactly what I needed: it answers several questions I had and gives a great example of generic data structure! Thank you so much for this!

thanks for this!

interesting, when I just compiled this code on a fresh zig build (version 14.0-dev.109), I get a compile error because it thinks that gopr should be a const instead of a var. thanks for the video on making and using hashmaps.

how would one print out the nodes in the trie? I can't seem to get the syntax quite right 😞

I really like these new videos that use Zig on small single episode projects instead of just explaining Zig syntax or the standard lib. Don't get me wrong, I like the explainers, but I want to know how to put the pieces together to make something useful. Live coding videos are fine, but they're typically very long. These are short, to the point videos that still get something done with Zig which is a niche that afaik is unique to this channel. Maybe you could also do videos on parts of larger projects, that are still discrete and self-contained, like how to process command-line arguments, or how to parse JSON. I dunno it's just a thought. Edit: I mean to do these things for real (In anger.) and not just using the libraries themselves... Maybe a simple CSV reader would be a better project, seeing that there is no std library for that.

Everything is so much quicker and easier if you have Windows and a mouse :)

Hello Dude thanks for all your help, you are a lifesaver for those who want to learn zig. May i ask how to navigate through the 2 different playlists you have. It would seem like they have overlapping concepts.

Thank You! I did not understand the last step "generic", because the change to @FloatFromInt(i) will then only work with floats. What happen if You use again this function in main with int?

What is the difference const vs var in terms of array? Is it const reference as in most languages or const values?
