I am proud what we've achieved. Unfortunately I will cease working on this soon[1], but, if you are interested and location suits you, I highly recommend Uber's Platform Engineering as a great place to work.
Happy to answer any questions about what's in the blog post, and, if you come to SYCL in Vancouver, BC on 2023-06-08[2] — in person.
> Given that, we have not yet introduced any production applications written in Zig into our codebase (where the toolchain is fully set up), because only a few people in the company know the language at the moment.
Do you have any plans where you can use zig in production applications? Thanks!
No plans yet. In my opinion, it needs a good reason to be picked instead of C (which we have sizable) to overcome the "number of developers" argument.
Introducing a new general purpose language into a large company carries a significant cost, especially into the future. The company is rightly cautious.
