What Zig felt like, coming from Rust

Automated excerpt

I’d been using RustRover for Rust and various JetBrains flavors for other languages, and Zig, by comparison, offered little beyond syntax highlighting and basic autocompletion. It’s also a pretty honest way to gauge how big a project actually is: if you can’t resist reaching for folders on day one,maybe it’s smaller than it feels. Here’s the actual difference, side by side:Rust (src/):src/ Duck-typed in Zig:pub fn query(node: anytype, iteration: *JsonPathIter) ! void { Zig:fn collectDescendants(allocator, value: *std. json. Value, path, out) ! void { try out. append(allocator, . { . json = value, . path = try allocator.
