Roc to be rewritten in Zig (gist.github.com)

Roc's compiler is being rewritten in Zig primarily due to significantly faster compile times, which have been a major pain point in Rust.

Zig's allocator-based memory management, better tooling for static binaries, and built-in support for optimization techniques (like struct-of-arrays and bit-packing) align better with Roc’s needs.

@cryptocode It was not in direct response to what you wrote, I read the whole motivation post. Something strange on internet, I know ;) It was quite interesting btw.

Yep, it's a good one and one to follow :)
