a little good faith and a little less grump would go a long way. not the first, nor second time you’re being harsh on your peers for no apparent reason, reading shit into what they say in a most inhospitable way, presenting yourself as some clairvoyant into intentions of others. it’s just not healthy, man. no one’s attacking you or your precious visions here.

it’s not at all “clear” from the comment that the author thinks what you say he does. what was said in the original comment aligns well with zig’s “only one (obvious) way to do things” and its explicitness. other languages offer a much broader vocabularies, higher-level overlapping toolsets, while zig is much more constrained and requires the user to do the work herself, hence “Zig fans like to wrestle with the features of Zig to figure out how to fit their solutions within the constraints of the language”, which is an objective fact.
