I see. Never used rust or Julia. Used C# where references (ref keyword) work like ref arguments in cpp, and are not allowed in struct or classes.
Using C these days and appreciate the simplicity!

For me the point of ZII is to make things simpler and more straightforward. No need to think about constructors. "Initialize" a whole array at once to a valid state with just = {} or memset to 0.
Works well when composing data structures too, eg node structs can have pointers, null by default

Ah, we’re talking about cpp! Just learned that references in structs are a thing. I was thinking about references in the C pointer sense.
Then indeed they seem incompatible to ZII in this context

I didn’t know you could have class members that store references in cpp, interesting.
Also it seems you can’t assign them first in the constructor (makes sense, you could call other things from in there at which point the non-null guarantees would not hold).

I don’t get your point: you certainly can initialize a reference to zero, then assign it something else later. Is it that you want to avoid null refs at all time?

So you can shift instructions down? Hadn’t noticed, and was doing it manually

Plays well even on a small iphone!

Wonder if it would make sense to always have a scope following defer, e.g.
open_file()
defer close_file() {
…
} // close file executes at that point
open_file()
defer close_file() {
…
} // close file executes at that point

That’s a good point. Thinking about it, there’s another construct that breaks linearity: the for loop with its increment expression. I think it’s less shocking because of the attached scope and the closing brace.

Yeah, we only had 1 week of break between AI crawler attacks. This one is even hungrier than the last one.

I love this! I usually stick to programming but that makes me want to paint and model

Some are speculating it's going open source. I'm not holding my breath...

reimporting the project, it's been stuck on this for 30 mins. Took me a while to realize that it's processing the same atlas in a loop. Trying to kill and restart 😒
