Tcl VS Zig

Except for https://tcl.tk/ of course! - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

So Lua is the new Tcl. A lightweight scripting language designed to be embedded in other programs. Then I went and looked at http://tcl.tk and it appears the current maintainers of Tcl forgot why it exists as well. ;-) Everyone hated Tcl back in the day for similar reasons. Too lightweight, no serious language features, etc... Maybe we should just use Scheme. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Tcl (https://tcl.tk/) is actually pretty good, though I doubt it reaches the speeds Lua can. For modding, it may be enough. Source: over 1 year ago

The main site at https://tcl.tk has lots of resources. Source: almost 2 years ago

If you're feeling bored try https://tcl.tk ;P. Source: over 2 years 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 / 26 days 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 / about 1 month 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 / 3 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 / 4 months ago

Rust is much more akin to C++ than C in terms of complexity. It's early but Zig[1] might fit the bill. [1] https://ziglang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
