What is your favourite Odin feature?

I really like the convenience of the vendor libs and I also like not having to call vcvarsall.bat before starting to program and not having to know/use a thousand compiler flags in most cases. Convenience in general.

I like that all the things that I used to do as best practices in C are the default in Odin. I also like that Odin implements many of the things I used to custom-build in C, and it is done exactly how I want it.

Stuff like:

  • Zero is initialized
  • Custom allocators and temp allocators
  • Tracking allocator
  • Designated initializers

My favourite Odin feature is @gingerBill as a BDFL, saying NO to “feature” requests, keeping the language as clean and productive as possible.
