A Odin-lang playground, for curiosity

https://odin-lang.org/ && https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin

At time of writing, February 3rd 2024, Odin has not yet reached version 1.0

Notes :

• Presented as ideal for Game Development (see SOA data types)
• odin-lang has SOA Data Types

"Array of Structures (AoS), Structure of Arrays (SoA), and Array of Structures of Arrays (AoSoA) refer to differing ways to arrange a sequence of data records in memory, with regard to interleaving. These are of interest in SIMD and SIMT programming."

• Data Oriented Programming language
• It presents itself a C alternative
• Great community
• it uses and leverage existing build tools ( LLVM, Clang)

Goals:

• remove UB from C at the instruction level
• compile to C code

Instructions
