So you’re working on your machine learning projects in Zig?

No, Python and C++, which were the languages chosen by both Google and Facebook for their AI frameworks.

I just think if a systems programming language like Rust does not provide a good way to facilitate dynamic linking the way C, C++ does, these languages will start running into issues as the size of the compiled binaries become ever larger and larger. I think we might all be a little too comfortable with the huge amount of memory, CPU cycles, and network bandwidth that we have nowadays, and it leads to problems when you want to scale-up a deployment. So I think Zig might make a more viable successor to C or C++ as a systems programming language than Rust does.

That said, I definitely think Rust and Haskell’s type systems are much better than that of Zig.
