Oh hey! I’m still using the default waybar config I got with fedora sway spin, and it would be cool to try an alternative and actually customize it.
Similar story here! Rust (mostly the ecosystem and culture that emerged around unsafe I think) diverged a lot from what made it really exciting in 2016, and although I loved it for a while, the complexity really caught up with me. The borrow checker never bothered me much, but I never dealt with async rust which I think helps.
I’m a game developer professionally, so I like to dabble in similar things mostly, I’m working on learning Vulkan and making a rendering lib that I can use in 2 projects:
A peer-to-peer 3D virtual tabletop
A purpose built language for live coding shaders.
I perform at live coding shows and the main tool I use is a JavaScript visual synth called hydra (example of my work). Incidentally, hydra was made by a woman.
It requires internet (even though it doesn’t need to) and requires a mix between writing glsl templates and chaining JavaScript functions. It’s amazing in how elegant it actually is, but I really want something native, and that integrates a bit better with my desktop.
NB, genderfluid. For the past several years, I’ve been primarily coding in Rust. Picking up Zig again after first trying it around 2 years ago via the cryptopals challenges, and having a lot of fun. Currently working through an online book to build a toy Redis clone. The book uses C and C++, which I am translating into Zig, so that I can both learn more about lower level networking on Linux, and reacquaint myself with Zig. Ultimately, though, I want to think of a more real-world project, so that I have a reason to keep using it
The way I am writing it now the bar is configured using Zig itself by importing a library and calling into it to setup modules and options and then finally to run the actual bar. I will maybe eventually open-source it and post ab it here in Showcase if I ever get it to a place where it works and I am using it personally and it makes sense to share it
also very cool live shader! I am very curious ab 3d graphics programming and would love to learn more about it. I’ve played around with raylib and sdl3 in Zig and made very basic lil toy programs but I am very much a beginner with 3d graphics.
Trans woman here, I mostly lurk but I’m hoping to post something I’ve been working on soon. I like the recent posts about connecting, btw, it’s cool to see the community learning more about each other.
also those cryptography challenges look very cool, I might take a stab at them sometime. I acc don’t know a lot more than the very basics of cryptography so, should be fun :3 also thanks for sharing
Hi, I would consider myself nonbinary. I’ve been using zig for a long time now. I use zig for building small internal tools at my workplace and for the many personal projects I start.
Hello there!
Yet another trans woman here, from Italy! :3
Mostly lurking here on Ziggit, although but sometimes I do reply to threads relevant to my works : P
Although I’m a student, I work(ed) on a lot of projects, usually game engines/embedded/general-low-level stuff (the most exciting to see work and break :3). Hopefully one day I’ll land a job on those subjects. ^w^
Regarding to Zig, I’m currently using it to make a small prototype platformer game plus a few tools, I’ve also used its toolchain for C/++ development, as its so much better than dealing with CMake… oh! Am also one of the devs which work on ZigBrains, the IntelliJ/CLion plugin for Zig :3
Am quite happy to see other gals and emby pals out here, quite a wind of change from the usual company, usually these places are mostly men (not that they’re bad!).
