I'd love to see something similar to Microsoft's Ionide project or for JetBrains to invest in IDE support. Source: over 1 year ago

> Pretty good, https://ionide.io It pains me to admit it because I really like F# but, with due respect to the developers, Ionide and its related projects are the most unstable toolchain I've ever used. Spend half a day reloading the editor because the extension keeps hanging on non-trivial MSBuild only to discover that the formatter has truncated in half one of the files you worked on due to a soundness bug.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

The DarkLang project was originally written in OCaml and was recently ported to F# (https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/) > How much work would it take in term of code rewriting? There are definitely code changes required, but I think those are quite manageable as concepts mostly map 1:1 from OCaml to F#. > can it compile to native code? Yup,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

F# doesn't have a hard dependency on vscode. Resources from MS will obviously encourage using MS tooling, but ionide [1] is really good. The lsp+neovim workflow is not as good but getting better. [1] https://ionide.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Once we have our dependencies ready, we can start digging in with the code in VSCode using Ionide, Rider or Visual Studio. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

It's "Zig" not "Zag". https://ziglang.org/ Zig is under heavy development, but there's a single page https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.12.0/ that is a reasonably comprehensive source of truth about the current state of the language. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

When writing code in a scripting language, sometimes you need that extra bit of performance (or maybe an async feature from Zig). - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

You may find Zig interesting: https://ziglang.org. The language is not C compatible but the tooling can compile C and C++ without hassle. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Zig describes itself as "... a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software.". Sounds very generic, eh? - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
