Hey. Thanks for making Zig. I’m glad it’s moving forward.

Don’t let all the negative comments get you down. It happens to every language author. (See some of the nasty comments on Elm, Clojure, Go, Jai, etc.) I, for one, am happy that all of these languages exist, even those that don’t scratch my itches.

Completely agree — Zig and it’s design philosophy is absolutely fantastic for its domin, and I’m very glad it exists.

I like Rust and other modern languages too, but Zig strikes me as just about the best possible contender for a true C/C++ replacement (due to seamless interop, and a very practical and well designed simple language core — as opposed to the complexity of something like Rust, for example).
