I’ve shipped games written entirely in assembly. I now work on a large service you have heard of. I graduated manga cum laude. I’m not smart enough to write systems in C or Zig that don’t have bugs.
The question I ask myself is “would I write a game in Rust?” Zig seems like a better fit: you can be clever without being chided by the borrow checker. But as a “code artisan”, there’s an interesting challenge in making it work with Rust.
I might use Zig on a project if it was just me. I wouldn’t use it with the a team that I didn’t hand pick.
Smart people like Zig. Smart people like Rust. Smart people like LLMs. It’s a big Venn diagram. It be great if we could not bash each other.
