Zig Tooling Pain Points?
2 points by lindir 5 hours ago

I'm somewhat new to Zig, but have a lot of background in other systems languages. A friend and I (we're both grad students) would like to get started by writing up a software analysis tool. What sort of problems do you often run into that you would like an automatic linter for?

Our initial guess was that a resource safety checker (memory, file open/close, etc.) might be helpful, but it looks like Zig's approach to memory is much better than most other systems languages. Is there some challenge that Zig uniquely adds? Or some area where the tooling could really use some improvement?
