I was lucky to work with one or two people like Tsoding in the past who learned super quick by just jumping in and trying stuff. That's what I used to do as a kid when I learned Basic and assembly on 8 and 16 bit computers, but somehow lost my way after going to college and becoming a professional dev. Watching people learn like this is helping me to recover that healthy and practical mindset.

I just smile when the info you seek is in second half of the first sentence you started to read but didn't finish. I try my hardest to at least read the part before the code snippet, because for some reason people don't put the important info in the snippet but above where it won't be copied over into your code... But I can totally see why you'd want to jump every 2 seconds, it's hard not to!

Well, that's certainly a programming language.

i think at some point he kinda checked out and stopped reading error messages, there was couple where he just ignored output) that line from "paint.zig" was totally usable, he just needed to change target file for compilation. but yeah, onboarding could be a little better. thing with arbitrary error names i believe is good, errors in zig are just values, and declaring them at the same place where you use them eliminates a lot of boilerplate (for people who want to be explicit with errors there is a mechanism too)

Amazing thing about zig is it’s a c compiler (bundles clang) and cross platform c built system and can cross compile c to any platform zig supports.

Every team needs someone like Tsoding to keep the code quality in check

The reason it took 2 seconds to start up is most likely the llvm JIT engine waking up. Especially if you're already using the CPU for encoding 1+ seconds is pretty normal.

57:59 wouldn't a function that returns an array with those values work? I'm pretty sure there's also some way to make Zig execute the function at compile time.

Great fun! BTW - I tried to use your code with the latest version of Zig (0.11.0) but found a few breaking changes - presume this is what one would expect for a language which is evolving or maybe a language for maintaining software causes one to maintain software?

ZIg syntax is still in flux because it has not hit 1.0. `zig fmt` can be used to automatically fix some small syntax changes that have been made. It is a good reason to put off using it, though I hope you'll come back to check it out once they pin that 1.0 release. No breaking changes will be allowed in minor releases or revisions after that.

1:14:13 The inference goes from the right side to the left side on assignment. ex: `const i = @floatToInt(i32, 1.0)`. In later versions it's fixed as suggested such that `const i: i32 = @intFromFloat(1.0)` now works.

Actually I think the problem is not reading the document first. Since this language is still growing, there's no very friendly compile message like Rust. IMO, however, this language is strong. You can do many things at compiletime with `comptime`, which is more powerful than Rust's `const fn` and macros, and more readable than C++'s metaprogramming skills. It also has strict type system like Rust. Maybe I'll use it if Zig was not longer beta.

But the language won't be ready before end of 2024 and even that I'm not sure yet, I'd say 2025 the language will really start to be "production grade". Right now they are focusing on stuff that not a lot of people immediately care about but in the long run it will be of great benefit for the developer experience. Currently they are working on a set of different custom backend to become the default in order to improve the compilation time. They are also working on solving bugs. They are also integrating a Zig based C compiler for the traduction of C code to Zig, They are also replacing the Async implementation but I'm not sure if it's already there or not. Loads of good stuff happening, Zls is also improving a lot, and they have plan to improve it a lot more, Right now Zls doesn't play well with comptime evaluation but they have plan for this, But those plans also depends on the custom backends to arrive, because otherwise the features will be too slow to be usable. I'd say if you want to start when it's in a better place, you should keep a tab on when ZLS add's comptime evaluation this will probably improve the learning experience quite a lot in my opinion.

As a developer I use tests for mainly two cases, out from the tip of my head. One, if I don't know how to do it yet, but I know what the system should look like, the API, the behavior, maybe known values for the given parameters - I can create a bunch of tests before actual coding, and then it's usual TDD, test-driven development. Other, when I don't want to visit THAT part of the code often, I can cover it with tests and forget THAT part. If something goes wrong, the tests will tell you that it's time to look into that part again. Or tweak your new shiny changes..
