Zig Programming Language Blurs the Line Between Compile-Time and Run-Time

Read Original

This technical article details the Zig programming language's approach to compile-time execution. It explains how Zig uses 'comptime' parameters, variables, and expressions to implement generics and perform type checking at compile-time, blurring the line between compile-time and run-time. The piece includes code examples demonstrating compile-time duck typing, error handling, and conditional logic, positioning Zig as a language that leverages this concept for simplicity and power.
