HN discussionI've looked at the guide[1] to writing Brainfuck interpreter, and the Zig language indeed looks very practical. In particular the test "..." {} block is neat, and the love for stack backtraces makes me feel at home. Definitely a language to keep an eye out on. [1] https://blog.jfo.click/how-zig-do/
