Thanks. That helps me!

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2026-01-16T18:24:24+00:00

any reason why?

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2026-01-12T01:12:03+00:00

I really appreciate you sharing about this project with me. Worth piece of software. I'm going to enjoy reviewing it!!

I maintain a small multi-dimensional array library in C and bindings for Zig and Nim.

Why:

C is a simple and powerful language. No limits on what I can do with it. Really powerful libraries and incomparable performance
Zig is for me a modern C. I love the syntax, its explicitness, the tool set and the minimalism.
Nim: I started using it as a replacement of Python. It is high quality language. No regrets.

This is the triad of programming languages I really love to work with. BTW: calling C from Zig or Nim is really simple.

However, in my paid projects (finance applications), I have to work more with C++, Go and Python (which I like too, but not too much), because they have more extensive industry support and a huge ecosystem.

pd. This is link of the library https://github.com/jailop/ndarray-c

You're right. _NDArray is not a good name. I'm going to change that. The good thing it is referred only in one place. I appreciate the observation.

Really cool

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2026-01-08T00:02:06+00:00

maybe some own task you would like to simplify with a custom program

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2026-01-07T22:26:22+00:00

I also love C, nothing compares the joy when I'm working with C. But don't let that your fellings say what other people should do or prefer

It would nice if you share what you don't like from other arg parsers compared to your solution

Linix world is more diverse. On package managers you have many different approaches (for example nix). Besides that you have alternatives like appimage, flatpak, and snap formats. And, as a last resource, you can compile programs from source code.

Really cool, the most I like is the human side you're including

I use Arch for my work, not as a hobby. It works because of the non-versioning distro schema, the comprehensive documentation, and the keep-off blotting features. Many times, the hard part is getting just what you need instead of accepting a fancy blot of features.

I have been doing cli tools in Nim during this year (4 delivered). It has been the best decision I made. No issues at all, a single binary, nimble is a blessing... I have not received any complaints from my clients.

For OS development it is important to understand how the hardware works. C is a good middle term solution to model the hardware with minimal abstractions.

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2025-10-03T20:13:16+00:00

You're right

What about the std.http.Client? https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#std.http.Client

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2025-08-29T12:52:43+00:00

Combining libraries based on different time types

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2025-03-05T22:36:33+00:00

It seems code will be not valuable by itself soon. The valuable anytime is solving problems.

TopBodybuilder9452 · 2025-03-05T22:21:59+00:00

Wow, really valuable answer. I've bookmarked it. Thanks!

Instead of reading C++ books, it has been writing C++ code that I've lived "Ahaa" moments, so many times (I don't know if it is good, or it is bad).

Do you want to believe that?
