Welcome to the Odin Programming Language Forum! 👋

Glad to finally see this. A dedicated forum is absolutely the best way to go. As others mentioned, discord could go away at any moment, and searching there is a pain. So much great posts/content/info locked away in the infinite scroll.

Happy to be here and to help Odin grow :slight_smile:

New Odin user here,
I’m a tinkerer at heart.
I’m very excited about the newer system languages coming out.

My interest is Micro-Controllers (Robotics, RC etc) ~ electronics in general as we all probably share an interest in such things.

Odin as Batteries included was the tipping point choosing the language.
I’m looking for a way to integrate Odin into Micro Controllers, PlatformIO has a really convenient interface with support Many Micros, and I will see if there a solution can be found there.

My secondary interest has been Soil Food Web which deals with Biological systems in Soils (Soon to be enrolling in the Lab Tech classes ~ 2025 Goals) Maybe we can get Computers to do the dreaded tasks that most of us don’t want to do :smiley: and explore more of our own interests, well Dreams :smiley:

Thanks.
Now how do I compile this example .odin file :smiley:

Hellope all :v: :beer:

I’m new to Odin, with only a few weeks into the language, and stoked to be a part of the community. I’m working on a basic music theory tutor app that started in Golang but Odin just feels right for the type of program it is.

Just started learning Odin this past week, and I’m extremely excited to be programming at the system level because of it. Heard about it when Primeagen mentioned it while being interviewed by Lex Fridman. I’ve been programming since the 90’s where I learned C then C++ and then Python in the early 2000’s. I spend most my days in Python but I’ve had projects over the last five years where I’ve help redesign and refactor some C++ codebases as well.

What’s caught my eye about Odin is the cleaner syntax over Rust & Zig, and it’s ‘batteries included’ philosophy like Python. It does look like a “joy” to program. I honestly don’t want to have to go back to C :grin:
