Just 12 hours [1] before I wrote on HN how I hope Zig won't do a hostile reply to Jarred's blog post.

I was half expecting it to be from Loris Cro, being VP of community for Zig. But was really hoping Andrew would write one himself, hopefully being more diplomatic.

I was wrong.

Even if everything that was listed in the blog was true, it could have been either not mentioned, or in all cases put it in much better way. And that is why copywriter are worth something.

Disagreeing on AI, How to run its business, low salary for Zig's job hurts the Zig foundation, Code quality, meaning on Fuzzing etc. Instead a lot of this now reads to me as direct attack. It could have been written as a heavy disagreement in a much more professional manner.

And no, professional doesn't mean cooperate speak.

Considering the Internet was on Zig's side when Bun switch to Rust was brewing.

Sigh.
