Lessons from Zig
｢ The Zig programming language maintains an intentionally small standard library. Components that do not meet strict inclusion criteria are removed and relocated to community-maintained packages. This philosophy is enabled by a first-class package manager that makes third-party code trivially accessible ｣
🛰️ I Made Zig Compute 33 Million Satellite Positions in 3 Seconds. No GPU Required.
｢ I've spent the past month optimizing SGP4 propagation and ended up with something interesting: astroz is now the fastest general purpose SGP4 implementation I'm aware of, hitting 11-13M propagations per second in native Zig and ~7M/s through Python with just pip install astroz ｣

｢ From a performance perspective, I didn’t want TigerBeetle to be fearlessly multithreaded. Transaction processing workloads tend to have inherent contention, even to the point of power law, precluding partitioning and necessitating a single-threaded architecture. Therefore, Rust’s borrow checker, while a phenomenal tool for the class of problems it targets, made less sense for TigerBeetle ｣
