I don’t mind someone doing politics stuffs. Heck I am in for privacy and no enterprise model of software. Big Stallman fan here.

But I would really suggest keeping politics out of Zig stuffs.

I don’t even know what ICE is. Just read about it.

This is a show of power.

Like: “I am an American and since I am building the software, I am going to push MY politics into your throat”.

That means, to show similar power, I need to build a software as influential as Zig so that I can push my agendas of my country down your throats.

Heck let me do just that.

Keep politics to politics forums, keep code to code.

The gall to tell someone what to create or not create, or say or not say with their own creation, for free for your own enjoyment.

  • Pushing politics is explicitly against the Hacker News guidelines though.

    If Andrew wants to make Zig the woke programming language for American Liberals, he is of course free to do so, but then he probably should not be posting on Hacker News in an attempt to proselytize.
