I have engaged with the Zig community. You're saying that people should not come to conclusions based on what they just read.=, from the founder nonetheless.

Did Linus Torvalds convince you, with his history of outbursts, that Linux is done?

  • He's turned that down over time and has said as much.

    I figure taking the most successful project of the 90s and using that as a polestar for of newer projects who re trying to get and keep traction over other projects (see this thread and topic) is probably a bad idea.

    It in fact is a great thing to learn from, not repeat the same errors.

So you're saying your only singular experience with the Zig community is this one blogpost, and you've written 14 comments so far on here about it? What are you even gaining here?

  • I've been using Zig for years. Is this not a discussion forum?

    • My apologies, your previous comment read to me as "I have engaged, I just read this blog post". I now see what you intended.

      I've realised from the comments under this post that many people seem to desire some sort of performative "professional" communication style from people above all else. I don't know why people care about this so much and I don't think I care to know.
