Come on now. This isn't acceptable behavior.

(EDIT: The parent has since edited this comment to contain more than just "zig bad rust good", but I still think the combative-ness and insulting tone at the time I made this comment isn't cool.)

Respectfully, the parent only offers up a Zig compile time metric. That's it. That's the entire comment.

This HN post about Rust is now being dominated by a cheap shot Zig one liner humblebrag from the lead author of Zig.

I think this thread needs a little more nuance.

    That's correct, but slinging cheap shots at each other is not how discussions on this site are supposed to be.

    Yes, but your comment offers none.

    FWIW, I think your revised comment is far better, even though I disagree with some of the framing, there's at least some substance there.

    Being frustrated by perceived bad behavior doesn't mean responding with more bad behavior is a good way to improve the discourse, if that's your goal here.
