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.
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.
You're 100% right, Steve. Thank you for your voice of moderation. You've been amazing to this community.
It's all good. I'm very guilty of bad behavior myself a lot of the time. It's on all of us to give gentle nudges when we see each other getting out of line. I deserve to be told the same if you see me doing this too!

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.
