Nice! Good to see Zig adoption picking up. Fastly's Compute@Edge platform (https://developer.fastly.com/learning/compute/) has a section on "Custom SDKs" using languages outside of the supported SDKs (currently: Rust, Go, JavaScript) and in there you'll find Zig and Swift https://developer.fastly.com/learning/compute/custom/


I'm guessing there'll be a big uptick in adoption once zig passes 1.0. At least for me, I'm just waiting until the syntax stabilizes, so I don't have to change my code later on or relearn how to do things.


We are using Zig for TigerBeetle—churn has not been bad and `zig fmt` is pretty good.


Isn't Zig not to hit 1.0 until 2025 or later? Looks like you will be waiting a number of years.



From reading the post there appears to be a lack of understanding as to what the TDD process is. TDD is "test-driven development"; meaning tests written BEFORE any code.

Compare that to how the article is written/interpreted... (paraphrasing) > "tests are usually cut because they're left until the last minute so you can keep doing that if you want but obviously your boss hates that incorrect understanding of TDD so now try BDD as well as your boss will love that more". The title is also 'sensationalist'. It caused me to read it (thinking there would be a valid argument as to why BDD was better than TDD) but all I found was a post about BDD and not much more :-/
