On: Why Zig when there is already C++, D, and Rust?

[nynx]

I'm not sure there's an up-to-date RFC, but here's what it looks like: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#...

Will they avoid the Transparent Comparator fudge that C++ has because the allocator is part of the type?

Could you elaborate on what this is, exactly?

[secondcoming → nynx]

In short, it allows a std::map<K, V> to be queried with a type that isn't K. For example,

    std::map<std::string, int> m;
    std::string_view sv = "mykey";
    auto&& iter = m.find(sv);

Oh, rust already has that.
