Zig embeds clang to compile C code. This doesn't add a new dependency since Zig already depends on LLVM. If there is a future where the self-hosted Zig backend is good enough to not depend on LLVM anymore, there might be a reason to us

For Morrowind it didn't just upgrade the rendering, it completely changed the aesthetic of the scene. Is that on purpose? At that point you can't call the results better, only different.

Can you write GUIs with Janet?

Yeah... he says you can learn the language in an afternoon, but his book is so long-winded... I just want a short intro so that I can start writing programs.

I've thought about setting up something like this before for myself. You might have given me the motivation I needed...

Built-in names are essentially reserved words, and there are dozens of them. The @ prefix ensures you don't step on user's variable names, and that you can add new built-ins without making breaking changes.

Please don't do "const Self = @This();" if the type isn't generic. It is pointless, redundant, ugly. What issues could public struct fields have caused?

That looks great. I had no idea this was coming. Now I wonder which other ideas the Obsidian team has.

So because most people on this site are American and might misread the title, the authors have to consider changing it? Why would the authors of Carp care about the demographics of Hacker News?

> Elon claimed he would not “ban” the account. And he has not done so. They were suspended. So the argument is that the word he used is different?

from only a glance and without having ever used nim, it seems to be more abstracted from the machine, whereas zig is closer. nim code should be shorter, nicer, closer to ideal pseudocode. safer too, i imagine. zig code should be more explic
