If you wish, this is a working implementation of the Maelstrom node framework on Zig 0.10.1. There were many bugs I faced during this experiment. For example, async-io did not work. There are probably bugs with the memory control, but the examples work well.
The implementation is far from perfect, but I am tired of polishing it over the current state of Zig runtime. Probably, it will require an update after the release of 0.11.0. If anyone is interested in polishing look into many FIXME comments in the code.
One of the improvements could be an extension of the types of errors the Handlers can handle so that the
catch
blocks disappear and allow the implementers to rely solely ontry
calls, but I don't have time at the moment to work on that.
