A comment on Zig, the Ideal C Replacement Or?.

The ease of using Odin over Zig for Raylib was an interesting contrast that I hadn’t reflected on myself. I tried to do things well with C3, but it might be hard to beat Odin on that particular point.

I just wonder how well it will work long term with update cycles and such. Zig and C3’s decentralized model seems easier for handling frequently updating libraries.

It's cool that it's so easy with Odin, but I think whether it takes one minute to set up Raylib with Odin or three minutes with Zig or C3 is pretty insignificant for any real project.
