GitHub - inge4pres/yaml.zig: A YAML library for the @ziglang programming language A YAML library for the @ziglang programming language - inge4pres/yaml.zig

Published 2 new libraries to aid #Zig ⚡️adoption in #CloudNative ecosystem:

1. yaml.zig: github.com/inge4pres/ya...
YAML 1.2.2 parser, needed in k8s/OTel land to parse all sorts of configurations

2. k8s.zig: github.com/inge4pres/k8...
Very barebone #kubernetes client

Release v0.1.0-sdk-alpha (Zig 0.15.1) · zig-o11y/opentelemetry-sdk OpenTelemetry Zig v0.1.0-sdk-alpha We are excited to announce the first alpha release of OpenTelemetry for Zig! This release provides a native Zig implementation of the OpenTelemetry specification ...

Thrilled to announce that the first release of the #Zig ⚡ #OpenTelemetry SDK is out! 🚀

Zig is great for Observability Why Zig is the most suited language for Observability

New blog post is out: "#Zig is great for Observability"
4pr.es/qH_EoHNh

My thesis: it is time for O11y ecosystem to consider Zig as relevant due to its characteristics.

Shameless plug at the end of the post: we're building an #OpenTelemetry SDK for Zig, github.com/zig-o11y/ope...
Check it out!

Never in the history of programming it’s been so important to know when to use Shift+Enter.

Last saturday I went to ZigDay, an entire day dedicated to learning/experimenting with Zig!!

I wrote a short journal here -> marcobacis.dev/blog/2025-se...

Thanks to Coding Bunker (www.codingbunker.it) and in particular to @inge.4pr.es , @omissis.dev and @kristoff.it, for the day!

Profile.

I am not an #AI expert, but I stumbled on this paper and it seems like a nice breakthrough.

Essentially, throwing away the current state of the art based on transformers and modeling a different type of interaction between the layers of the NN.

Pretty interesting 👌🏻

#neovim Development News

The 0.12 version will start to use Zig language to build Neovim itself.

This should improve overall Neovim development and should not have visible effect on users.

Kent Beck Kent Beck—creator of Extreme Programming and co-author of the Agile Manifesto—reflects on decades of coding, from the birth of TDD to his experiments with AI tools shaping software’s future.

This is a great interview. Kent Beck talks to @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com about how he's having more fun programming now with AI genies than he's had in ages. Also: the birth of Extreme Programming.

fix: add sort before hashing attributes by hendriknielaender · Pull Request #51 · zig-o11y/opentelemetry-sdk Previously, the hashing mechanism did not account for the order of attributes, leading to inconsistent hash values for the same set of attributes in different orders.

Memory Safety Features in #Zig

｢ This approach ensures that errors cannot be accidentally ignored. Every error must be explicitly handled or propagated, which dramatically reduces the likelihood of unhandled error conditions causing memory corruption ｣

Seems like the ideal place with the perfect weather to host heat-generating machines.

Ian Lance Taylor deserves an award for the most patient person in Open Source.

He also has an amazing ability to translate the clarity of his thinking into the written word.

He has had such impact on the way people create software.

I really hope he continues to contribute to Go.

#Zig std library find of the day: PriorityQueue ⚡️

This is a type-generic, ordered queue that allows polling the most recent item first.
It has an Iterator too! 👍
Very handy to serialize operations.

For those interested in using jj to contribute to Go, please check out @prattmic.com's blog post below.

It's not a general jj tutorial, but will help you with the Gerrit specific pieces.

I have two books here, on high dimensional statistics and high dimensional probability.

I am specifically looking for a book that treats intuition around high-dimensional geometry, as I have a lot of high-dimensional polytopes to reason about. Can anyone recommend anything?

Libreboot 25.04 Open-Source Boot Firmware Released Libreboot 25.04 "Corny Calamity" open-source boot firmware debuts with a new YY.MM versioning scheme, broad distro support, and more.

The way I understood it is that the array is new memory that gets reserved immediately, and if that fails we fall back to an existing allocator, with the ability to know if we did.
I used it for testing in a memory-constrained env.

TIL that in #Zig std lib there's a convenient std.heap.stackFallBack function, building an allocator that is backed by a fixed array of memory or falling back to a second allocator when the array allocation fails.

Sweeeeet 🧠

I naively think 100% of developers, but not 100% of their time they stick to it.
External pressure to deliver, deadlines, and other factors are fading the good practices.

Someone is profiting from the massive market sell off caused by US tariffs.
Someone surely knew the effect they would cause to #stocks, and I wish investigations will be done on politicians and their acolytes.

Glad you liked it!
It was difficult to get it up and running

Creating and managing #Kubernetes clusters on latest AWS EKS is a nightmare 😒
Addons crashing, confusing node configurations, over-complicated IAM model for workloads.

Trivial to do better, not surprised GKE is gaining a lot of market shares.

Interesting! TIL
Seems like Finnish can be amazing trumpet players then!
It’s definitely not common, requires a lot of training if you’re not used to.
