alt Hacker NewsIsn't Zig's repetitive ceremonial code around allocators+ allocation + defer *.deinit() a sign of a serious shortcoming like golang's error handling? If zig is so good at metaprogramming, why isn't there a metaprogramming solution to this repetitive code?
Memory allocations are always done explicitly (nothing is hidden or implicit). I've not written enough Zig yet to appreciate that, but I've hit plenty of those issues year-after-year with C++ to know their approach is sane and rational.
