Also, you should be able to create a new language in less than two years. I've certainly done so, though I admit ones not widely adopted :-)
Edit: Genuinely interested on why the downvotes? But nevermind.

This community isn't particularly fond of minimizing others' work. I'm not particularly interested in learning this language but I can still respect the effort.
This is minimising _my_ effort.
And then in the second case because the rules ask you to meta-converse about downvotes
This is the snark.
I can go to the websites of those, download the stable release, read tutorials and then use them for actual work, surely?
(Whether I should is another matter)
AFAIK the main reason for that is because AK wants to have a fast (debug) compiler before reaching 1.0 and that Zig isn't just a thin layer above C mainly due to its compile time feature, unsigned overflow being UB in Zig is another.
You can say “That’s a lot of dedication, you must be really into this project” or “you should be able to paint faster than that.”
One of these is the right and answer and the other is wrong. HN doesn’t require that you hype up every poster, but if you’re going to minimize their efforts we instead ask you to just not submit that comment.
