Zig's new Reader and Writer interfaces (std.Io, 0.15.1)
Hello, this is ComputerBread,
back at it again, with another zig video, today it's time to talk about std.Io.Reader and std.Io.Writer, the two new intrusive interfaces that Zig 0.15.1 just shipped. This version is the first step toward the return of async and a revolutionary new way to handle IO! These new interfaces come with buffers built-in to minimize syscalls and indirect calls, and also to help the compiler make optimizations!
In this video, I explain how to use the new Reader and Writer interfaces, explain how they work, I justify the reasons made! I also talked about concrete implementations: std.fs.File.Reader, std.fs.File.Writer, std.Io.Writer.Allocating, std.Io.Writer.Discarding....
I show how to read from the standard input (stdin) and from a file, and how to write to the standard output! I also talk about common mistakes to avoid!
zig version 0.15.1
