Odin programming language

“In Odin, allocators are passed in the init, stored as part of the struct and reused in the append.”

“Odin scratches this "stick shift" itch for me better than anything else. Highly recommended.”

“integer overflow is simply defined behavior rather than some form of trapping/notification systems”

“Odin is even more primed to keep you on the std lib as it doesn’t include a package manager at all.”

“Which is already infinitely more readable and requires no parochial sigils nor the arcane clobbering syntax.”

“Odin solves this by letting you declare all arrays as either normal (AoS) or SoA, which helps with this use case a lot.”

“I find they’re pretty good with Odin. Not as good as with Go, and nowhere near as good as Typescript, but definitely good enough.”

“It's just C with nicer syntax and modern data structures, there's no "squeezing" required.”

“the way Ginger Bill has moved regarding Jai has been weird, and this most recent announcement confirms it for me”

“In Odin, Dividing the 16-bit signed integer -32768 by -1 results in taking SIGFPE.”

“plenty of people will still use Odin, primarily because there's a lot more batteries included”

“By far the best feature (IMO) is that it has no trouble talking to the most important Windows COM libraries”

“Game engine programming, more generally projects where the programmer controls the spec and data.”

“it's basically C (or more accurately Pascal) with better generics and some gamedev related features”

“Odin has been in commercial use(JangaFX) for years now with several high performance computing products written entirely in Odin”

“it was the first language that I picked for because I wanted C-esque speed and gui libraries being built in”

“hasn't really generated much discussion or interest in the broader programming language community”

“Odin is a real language being used by real professionals to ship real software products for money”

“There is a lot about Odin's design that is consistent with Zig. Check it out, you might be surprised”

“Odin on the other hand is just some developer's personal taste marketed as "Programming Done Right"”

“consistency of design and simplicity to Odin that makes low-level programming more ergonomic and enjoyable to me”

“every single feature has been very thoughtfully considered and designed to have the least amount of issues”

“this break was announced half a year in advance and lots of thought was put into reducing work for developers”

“Odin is essentially complete, just lacks official spec. I like it but can' bring myself to use it”

“It's very much game dev oriented and comes batteries included with many useful libraries.”

“They make an allocator an exposed thing and provide language and standard library support”

“the low-friction path which Odin presents, where the data is dumb and I get right to writing procedures”

“It's going to be based on the native kernel async APIs (IOCP, io_uring, KQueue, etc), and from our preliminary tests, is a heck of a lot faster than any of approaches done with Go”

“This is actually quite nice for writing allocation code when you'd like to opt into it.”

“Odin is great, but I feel like it doesn't have enough syntax sugar to make languages easy to work on”

“Odin makes the same mistake as Golang did. It's not excusable IMHO in such a new language.”

“it makes the same mistake that Golang, C and others make regarding allowing NULL in the default pointer type”

“The language still lacks basic things like SQL drivers, solid HTTPS stack, websockets”

“it felt like the friction was exactly where I wanted it to be for the software I write”

“Odin is probably syntactically the cleanest of the lower level languages I’ve played with.”

“I didn't realize odin had a similar threading model to go with built-in channels, that's pretty neat.”

“Odin doesn't (and won't ever according to its creator) implement specific concurrency strategies.”

“Zig and Odin are much more enjoyable to write and provide enough safety for a lot of applications”

“Languages like Rust, Swift, Go, Zig or Odin are making the value proposition of interpreted languages less compelling”

“No, I write Odin for production and there is no performance difference to speak of coming from the way the compiler or language works.”
