I don't see how Zig will ever contend with Odin, Jai, C3 and others when they drive away half of the prospective users with activism.

What are good alternatives?

How anyone could trust OpenSnitch is beyond me.

The EU are the ones freezing people's bank accounts and cancelling everyone they don't like, sanctioning people countries for not being woke enough, etc. I'd much rather use US based services or self-hosting.

I have a hard time taking extremists seriously, regardless what side they're on.

I can live with "this::that", but what drives me bonkers is "this :: that", which is what Odin does. Other than that, Odin is an incredible language.

This is a dream come true. Please do it, for the love of mankind.

It's unbelievable that Trump has managed to facilitate this before he even steps into office. It is a brutal display of power, but that is sometimes needed, just like when a parent needs to intervene in a conflict between children.

Zig is alright, but Odin is amazing.

Just follow Andrew Kelley on whatever platform he hasn't ragequit from these days.

No, the "C community" and creators aren't making a political stance on things at all. Lua doesn't either. The Zig creator is very outspoken on political matters.

The Zig-community is annoyingly political, whereas the Odin community and -creator focuses on technology.

"as productive as Ruby or Python"

So you basically never have to worry about lifetimes or memory management or the borrow checker? Because that would be a prerequisite for it to be as productive as Python.

I'd love to see a seasoned Python developer and a seasoned Rust developer comparing the time they spend to solve e.g. Advent of Code. I bet the Python dev would solve it at least ten times faster (developer time, not execution time).

Weird, I created an account for a family member last evening, and I didn't see anything racist at all. Without following anyone I only saw ads and some tweets by Elon Musk.

What is antirez doing these days? His github history suddenly dropped to zero it seems.

I would love to have a feature like that.

Absolutely. I wasted 6 years writing C++ and being miserable.

My favorite MUD is definitely Midnight Sun II. It's one of the MUDs in the selection you get when you start Mudlet from mudlet.org, which is an excellent/modern client.
