⚡ Odin, A Pragmatic C Alternative with a Go Flavour | Bitshifters

「 Rather than introducing complex features, Odin focuses on code that is simple and clean to read and reason about. This is the polar opposite of Zig’s embracing of metaprogramming for as much as possible 」

Bitshifters · Odin, A Pragmatic C Alternative with a Go FlavourOdin is a general-purpose systems programming language authored by Bill “gingerBill” Hall. Designed as a modern alternative to C, Odin emphasizes simplicity, performance, and readability without sacrificing control over low-level details.

Edit (9PM Eastern): pushing the stream out to 9:30,kiddos refuse to go to sleep.

Tonight at 9 PM Eastern, I'll be getting back to #Zig! The emulator is going to need graphics, so we'll start with just getting something on the screen.

I'll be trying to get raylib running on Linux, which I have failed to do once, but succeeded on Mac.

It'll be exciting!

Edit: uhhhhhh, solid maybe on this! Our internet is out! I forgot about that, because I was on a cell backup! And that probably can't handle a twitch stream... But we'll see!

Last edit (7:43 pm): internet is back! Stream is back! We're back! 9 PM I'll be online and live!

Last last edit (8:46 PM): internet is out again. Stream canceled tonight. See y'all next week.

Fuck you, Comcast.

Tonight, I'll be going live to continue working on my 6502 #emulator in #Zig!

We've finished the CPU!... Mostly! It's finished enough to run code, so, let's start adding I/O!

I'll be implementing an ACIA serial device to slot into our emulated bus!

I have _never done this before_!

What could possibly go wrong? Tune in at roughly 9 PM Eastern to find out!
