Now you've misquoted me. Actual quote[1] is: "This appears to be an outright fabrication." To quote yourself[2], "The honest thing to do is acknowledge that you were mistaken and apologize for the false accusation."

If you decide to try this, feel free to share your progress and struggles on IRC, ziggit, or ZSF zulip. Plenty of people would be interested in helping out. Good luck and happy hacking!

my implication is that you are projecting - believing that because something is true for you, it is therefore true for other people. zsf team is perfectly capable of implementing compiler optimizations.

First I was naive to believe I could make a new programming language, then I was naive to believe it would be anything but a toy project, then I was naive to believe that we could make our own backends for debug mode, now I'm naive to

You know, I used to be annoyed by all your consistently shitty remarks in any zig related HN thread, but these days, it's refreshing to have an unpleasant interaction with a human. Sincerely, thanks for all your hand-written hatred.

I used Node.js extensively for about a decade, both professionally and as a hobby. I don't buy the problem statement. These arguments don't even make sense, they look LLM generated. I can't even formulate a disagreement again

Originally, Zig's type system was less disciplined in terms of the "zero" type (also known as "noreturn"). This was proposed, discussed, and accepted here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/is

It's not a great tip because there are features that exist specifically to reduce development iteration cycle latency without compiling for the wrong target. Please refer to https://ziglang.org/download/0.15.1&#x2F

I propose let's break up a bunch of these monopolies to give you and your colleagues more options, more competition for your resume.

In Zig, error codes are fundamentally a control flow construct, not a reporting mechanism. The pattern here is to return something like error.Diagnostics for all errors that have been reported via diagnostics. The only reason you'd hav

As an example, a line that they don't cross, but a for-profit company absolutely would, is compromising the integrity of the encyclopedia articles. For example, a marketing department would pay a lot of money for Wikipedia to delete or

I think you're letting pedantry hinder you from seeing a useful pattern.

This affects static libc only. If you pass -dynamic -lc then the libc functions are provided by the target system. Some systems only support dynamic libc, such as macOS. I think OpenBSD actually does support static libc though.

This use case is unchanged. If you specify -target x86_64-windows-gnu -lc then some libc functions are provided by Zig, some are provided by vendored mingw-w64 C files, and you don't need mingw-w64 installed separately; Zig provides ev

The Department of Homeland Security was created in 2003. We didn't need it then and we don't need it now. Why waste tax dollars on ineffective, privacy-violating security theater when we could spend it on education and health?
