Zig's Juicy Main - We've broken "Hello World" once more
In this video we’re exploring a major ergonomic upgrade coming to Zig and it's often referred to as "juicy main." Traditionally, a Zig program’s main function is very minimal: you write your entry point, and the runtime does the bare minimum before calling it. But the juicy main changes that by letting you ask Zig for useful helpers right in main’s signature like process context, IO handles, allocators, and more all without boilerplate. 0:00 Taking a Minute Together 3:09 Figuring It Out 6:15 Aware of the Commitment 9:25 Benefits of Minimalism 12:33 Appreciating the Little Things Code & Resources (some links may be affiliate links): Join the discord - / discord Juicy Main PR: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/pull...
