I've been using Odin [1] for my hobby game development and I've been liking it a lot. Feels like a more ergonomic C.
Things I like:
- Vendor libraries like Raylib and MicroUI make it easy to get started
- I can pass around memory allocators and loggers implicitly using context, or explicitly if I need to.
- natively supports vector math and swizzling
- error handling with `or_else` and `or_return`
Things I don't like:
- Name spacing is a bit annoying. The convention is to prefix the procedures but I don't like how they look. It really isn't a big issue.
Have a quick read of the overview and if you are still interested, I highly recommand 'Understanding the Odin Programming Language' book by Karl Zylinski [2]
