I'll add another point i.e. Odin is effectively done from a language point of view unlike Zig or others. The project is currently working on improving the std library and toolchain but the language itself is finished according to it's BDFL.

From my experience so far, Odin is a delightful modern alternative to C.

You mean the language is effectively finished and not subject to change.

What do you mean “unlike zig”?

Zig is still pre-1.0, and the creators have been VERY clear that they're not done breaking stuff on the way to getting things right. It's a fair contrast to draw.

He's saying that the Odin language is effectively finished and not subject to change. That is not the case for Zig.
