In the coming months, we'll begin to have truly cross-platform low-level graphics, with the ability to cross compile GPU-accelerated applications written in Zig from any OS and deploy to desktop, mobile, and (in the future) web.| devlog.hexops.com
Today, I am announcing mach/glfw: Ziggified GLFW bindings with 100% API coverage, zero-fuss installation, cross compilation, and more.| devlog.hexops.com
A little story about how writing a domain-specific compression algorithm in a few days can sometimes yield big benefits, why it's sometimes worth giving it a shot, and how to tell when you should try. Note: this is about Unicode spec data files, not general purpose text compression.| devlog.hexops.com
As I work on Zorex, an omnipotent regexp engine I have stumbled into a world of tales about why Unicode text sorting is so annoying in the modern day. Let's talk about that.| devlog.hexops.com
Today I increased my monthly donation to Zig to $200 a month. Before Zig, I have not contributed financially to any open source project. Before I can explain why I am so extremely excited about the Zig programming language and its community, I need to explain where I come from.| devlog.hexops.com
In this article we will be exploring what parser combinators are, what runtime parser generation is - why they're useful, and then walking through a Zig implementation of them.| devlog.hexops.com
In this article, we share empirical measurements from our experiments in using Postgres to index and search over 10,000 top GitHub repositories using pg_trgm on only a Macbook.| devlog.hexops.com
In this article I talk about learnings I have from trying to use pg_trgm as the backend for a search engine, Tridex, which aims to be a competitor to Google's Zoekt (Fast trigram based code search)| devlog.hexops.com
