Comment on Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language

Comments

Somewhat related is yesterday's post about the Cyber programming language, also built on Zig and also embeddable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34553236

(Not affiliated with either, just can be easy to miss stories on here sometimes, and I figured anyone interesting in Bog might also be interested in Cyber)

Looking at the two of them, both awesome projects, not a competition but here are a few things I noticed. Cyber seems to have pretty good documentation [0] (maybe Bog does too but I didn't find too much from the readme. For example, you can see Bog has a GC and its standard library supports JSON, but memory management and non-scalar data structures aren't mentioned in the Bog readme).

Cyber also seems to be under more active development at the moment.
