Key differences between Zig and Objective_C
| Characteristic | Zig | Objective_C |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, C-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and explicitness. | C-based syntax with added Smalltalk-style messaging and verbose method names. |
| Paradigm | Procedural, with some support for generic programming; not object-oriented. | Multi-paradigm: primarily object-oriented, also supports procedural programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong, explicit type system and no implicit casting. | Statically typed (with dynamic features); supports both static and dynamic typing. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C/C++ with manual memory management and no hidden control flow. | High performance, but some overhead from dynamic messaging and runtime features. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard library; ecosystem is growing but still small. | Rich ecosystem, especially for Apple platforms (Cocoa, Foundation, UIKit, etc.). |
| Community and support | Small but active and growing open-source community. | Large, mature community, especially among Apple developers; extensive resources. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; simpler than C/C++ but new concepts and less documentation. | Steep, especially due to unique syntax and Apple-specific frameworks. |
