This is me procrastinating building my own md parser instead of publishing my blog post btw 😅

that's 23mil lines of markdown per second lol

(not sure if this is fast or slow but the parser is not complete yet so not really fair to compare to others anyway)
$ wc -l ~/temp/rust-book/huge.md took 4s 17357556 /home/shreyas/temp/rust-book/huge.md $ zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast run -- ~/temp/rust-book/huge.md elapsed time: 749 ms

I really want to write my own variant of markdown that is not so dumb to parse well

lol what do you people think of this as the start of a blog post?
A blog post titled "[Draft] The Zig Build System is F**king Awesome: So what the hell is a Zig?". Below the title, Andrew Kelly is Photoshopped onto Steve Jobs on stage, mimicking the classic iPhone reveal. He's presenting three distinct aspects of Zig: a C compiler (represented by the LLVM dragon icon), a build system (represented by the CMake pyramid icon), and a programming language (represented by the Zig logo). The text on screen reads "C compiler", "build system", and "Programming language" below each respective icon.

i love c but man a result type like in rust or zig error unions would be so much nicer than this
typedef enum load_image_error_t { load_image_error_unsupported_format, load_image_error_invalid_data, load_image_error_out_of_memory, } load_image_error_t; /// Return value of `load_image` and `load_image_with_format`. /// `success` is set to `true` if the image was loaded successfully. typedef struct load_image_result_t { bool success; union { image_t image; load_image_error_t error; }; } load_image_result_t; /// Loads an image from a given file path. /// Automatically detects the image format based on the file extension. /// Image data is owned by the caller and must be freed using `image_free`. /// /// Also checkout `load_image_with_format` load_image_result_t load_image(const uint8_t *file_path);

okay I quit this shit is too much

I'm converting this shit to json and then reading it that way

FUCK YAML
shreyascodes.tech Shreyas Mididoddi @shreyascodes.tech · 24d
I take back what I said about XML

yaml is soo much worse in every single way. I hand rolled an XML parser in a few hours

it's been 2 days and I barely can parse a basic yaml file

that is sooo much better already

Any of my oomfs use @tangled.org as their primary git host? (Self hosted I mean)
I would love to know what your thoughts are. I want to move all my business repos to it if it's good GitHub has become super super bad to use these days

Fucking fraudsters took 500 usd from my sister pretending to be from Deloitte and that getting a job needs paying money

Stay safe chat don't pay money to get a job not worth it even if it is real

I have ported multiple pretty complex c/cpp build setups to build zig and mann it's soo nice to be able to read and actually understand how build works by reading real code instead of some random disaster of a dsl

Premake and xmake are also cool but I like zig more

closures (okay well not really capturing but still v cool) in zig lfg

i need some tree sitter and lsp hacking but this is soo nice already lol

Really cool video. So many things about big redactors, product design, obsessing over little things, not breaking existing user workflows while still being easy to use for new users and so much more

I keep hearing this from super smart junior people thinking they can't get a job or whatever

bro I'm half blind I can't see shit! if I can do it you should atleast have a better chance than me

just keep stumbling into dumb errors and half finished side projects you'll get there. NEVER lose hope!

f xml and java and gradle and maven

I am going to rewrite the world to not use those
const Manifest = @import("manifest"); pub const manifest = Manifest{ .package = "codes.shreyas.mydroidshit", .android_versionName = "0.0.1", .application = .{ .android_label = "@string/app_name", .android_icon = "", .activity = &.{Manifest.Activity{ .android_name = ".MainActivity", .android_exported = true, .meta_data = &.{ // ... collapsed content }, .intent_filter = &.{ Manifest.IntentFilter.main_launcher, }, }}, }, };
