Zig gamedev project – left my job to build games in Zig lang

I tried, and enjoyed, Zig. My enjoyment rapidly fell off a cliff when I started getting deeper into the stdlib. It feels like (this may not be true) that people contributed random stuff into it, a bit like C++ prior to Boost. The inconsistency hampered my enjoyment, and I headed back to Rust.

I think that's ok for being so early in the development cycle. Currently the Zig stdlib seems to be mostly stuff that's needed by the compiler and build system. At least it's already much more useful than the C stdlib.

Andrew plans to audit the zig stdlib before the 1.0 release to fix those issues:
