The C Killer? I Tried Odin Lang

I’m learning the Odin programming language from scratch. Odin is a modern systems programming language that feels familiar if you’ve used C, but it also has its own approach to simplicity, performance, and developer experience. In this video, I take my first look at Odin, write some basic code, and start exploring what makes it different from C. This is the first video in a new series where I’ll be learning Odin step by step and seeing whether it’s a good language for systems programming, game development, and low-level projects.
