I was worried to hear rust here, but the danger was avoided.

Using WASM with Go in my day job, performance is not good as you said and no debugger is a huge pain. It sounds great on the surface but lots of issues once you actually try and build a real application with it

[sebastianmocanu]

Much love from romania, learned a lot just from listening for 10 minutes about things I didn't even know I wanted to know ❤

Have you seen Gio UI? It's an immediate mode UI library in Go. The internal API might feel weird to use at first, but it was deeigned that way to avoid allocations and dynamic dispatch

[TheQxY]

Rust was supposed to solve many problems that C++ has, but in my opinion it repeats many of the same mistakes. Any language which is simple like Go with a similar streamlined ecosystem, but allows for more low-level control and better foreign function interfacing is a win. Both zig and Odin are looking promising, but both just don't have enough capital behind them. Really hope one of them gets picked up by some sponsors and increases their development team. ATM I also prefer Odin, as I more align with the creator's philosophy (who is also very clearly a Go lover like myself).

[JT-mrdb]

Be cool if you demonstrated what you mean regarding Go's lack of performance.

Knew it before clicking on the video! Odin is for me kind of like the best parts of Go, Zig, Rust and C, with bindings for useful libraries included out of the box. Coming from mostly Go and C it feels good to use.

This guy might be a grifter but he's a damn good programmer.

[peterszarvas]

its an interesting dilemma... gleam seems like a great language, it even compiles to js, but it is erlang based so I am not sure how it plays with c libraries

[alitaa]

I like odin, it works out of the box, however the community is not there yet, i have seen pretty interesting stuff with raylib

[mrt_]

Jai could have been another great choice (it has a build system that is way better than Zig, and is over all a great language. It's also a lot like Odin, as it both shares ideas and syntax, but Jai is better, in my opinion)... but it's not available to the public yet, so you either have to get lucky and get into the beta, or wait for the public release, which probably is a year or more a way.

[Regnumnline]

I still do not get why they did not added memory arenas but instead worked on iterators no one uses.

[Sardinzizikon]

I love odin and i really like to see more of it from your lovely channel.

I'd be keen to follow on the zig learning path :D

[ebukaume]

Rust tries to do a lot but Zig is fine 😃.

[SaiyanJin]

You've got to respect this man's dedication and motivation

[rafaelfess]

Have you tried using Clay? It's a high-performance UI layout library written in C that has bindings for Odin.

[newmarketfinder]

Feel you bro. In similar fork in the road in my hobby project. Picked haskell instead of ocaml just to struggle a bit and learn more

[Malix_Labs]

I love Odin!
I wonder its opinion about package manag…
🤭

[Lupin_br]

Maybe TinyGo would work for that WASM use case
