The Odin Language

Here's a peek at our upcoming tool, ReliaSim. It's a Discrete Rate Simulation tool for high-volume manufacturing. This is a 1-year simulation running in 815ms (~110K simulation steps). Industry standard tools take 15 minutes. @odinlang gave us the freedom to optimize the performance. Simulations can run in parallel, so I can simulate 100 years in 6 seconds on my 12-core machine. That would take days with other tools. We are now focused on making a beautiful UI, but the performance already speaks for itself. At the end, you see me replaying the events. I can instantly jump to any moment in time and review the state of the system.

The brand new `map` internals PR for @odinlang has been merged in!!! It's a high performance, cache friendly, open-addressed Robin Hood hashing map with various optimizations for Odin. github.com/odin-lang/Odin…

Composing loggers and multiple custom allocators together in @odinlang is very easy and allows for a huge amount of control and power! #implicit-context-system" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">odin-lang.org/docs/overview/…

The new release of @odinlang is out now! Including the new generic #simd type and intrinsics, x86-family specific instructions, new vendor libraries including GGPO and OpenEXR and so many more improvements! github.com/odin-lang/Odin…

I've been working on the generic #simd system for @odinlang. Whilst working on it, I also added some x86 specific instructions to show how that would work. I've gotten up to SSE{1, 2, 3, 4.1, 4.2}, SSS3, SHA, FXSR, ABM, and some more done. github.com/odin-lang/Odin…

New experiments into the JS libraries for @odinlang. Will support for event listeners, WebGL 1.0 & 2.0, and much more to come!

.@odinlang now has #OpenEXR Core as part of its vendor library collection! We are adding many of the industry standard image formats to Odin to make your development as easy as just importing. pkg.odin-lang.org/vendor/OpenEXR… github.com/odin-lang/Odin…

github.com/odin-lang/Odin… A massive new Odin release! New packages (shoco, xml, varint, intrusive list, NetPBM, QOI, TGA, i18n), numerous improvements to packages, and so much much more!!!

Interested in Metal and @odinlang? We've just released 10 self-contained code examples ranging from creating a window, to instanced rendering, and even compute shaders all in native Odin! github.com/odin-lang/exam…

We have just merged the new `package sync` and improved atomics intrinsics in @odinlang. Designed from the ground up with making the zero value useful and utilizing the abilities of modern OSes with futexes. It has been in the works for a long while. github.com/odin-lang/Odin…

The @odinlang programming language has both built-in array programming (vectors & swizzling) and matrices, and as a result, this textual issue is completely removed! It even allows you to treat vectors as if they are column-vectors or row-vectors, and things will "just work"!

Odin also provides a GLSL-like and HLSL-like mathematics library plus numerous other utility procedures: pkg.odin-lang.org/core/math/lina… pkg.odin-lang.org/core/math/lina…

🧵 Why Odin was not designed as an OOP language: I have been asked numerous times before about the reasoning for not having methods (member procedures) in @odinlang, and why it only has stand-alone procedures. 1/9

Odin's GitHub Sponsors profile is now live! You can sponsor us to support @odinlang's development💖 github.com/sponsors/odin-…

🧵I want to clarify my position on "Undefined Behaviour" (UB) in programming languages and why @odinlang will not have any UB. It's a pretty simple position: the specification for the language will states who defines what, and then that thing defines it. 1/7

I got Metal working natively in @odinlang the other day. I've now gone and got D3D11 and D3D12 working in Odin! gist.github.com/gingerBill/b7b… Odin shipping out-of-the-box will all of major graphics APIs: Metal, D3D11, D3D12, Vulkan, OpenGL, and WebGL!

We are proud announce the brand new documentation site for all the official library collections (`core` and `vendor`): pkg.odin-lang.org. odin-lang.org/news/new-packa…

New video out! Thanks much to @TheGingerBill for this interview on @odinlang youtube.com/watch?v=2YLA4a…

I've just made some WASM-4 bindings for @odinlang WASM-4: Build Retro Games for a 'Fantasy Console' with WebAssembly. Bindings: gist.github.com/gingerBill/9a6… wasm4.org
