I don't think the problem is AI itself; they can have AI too, AI as capable as something like Cursor, for example. The issue is that their product is bloated and slow, and much of the technological leadership they once had has been overtaken by VSCode.
This community is pure trash.
I am at least 3x more productive by letting an LLM write my code and I review and understand every single line it writes.
Also, Fable 5 came up with some amazing solution and designs that I would have never been able to do myself.
I can say with 100% surety that my current project at work is MUCH better with an LLM compared to if I wrote it myself.
Also I have been using Opus 5 for the last few days and I find it work fine. It's a little verbose but the code quality is good.
It's pretty buggy but has way more features than expected.
Definitely the best desktop website I have ever seen.
Every part of the language must support memory safety from first principles.
I think ReleaseSafe just adds bound checking and panics on unreachable code.
I don't think Zig offers any temporal memory safety.
The reason Rust has a working borrow checker is because every part of the language from structs, enum, traits, generics and all the way to the syntax itself has been designed to support lifetimes and borrow checking.
It's is not something you can just tack on to an existing language without fundamentally changing it.
But the company was doomed the moment they started raising prices to Samsung levels. Lost any reason to buy them.
Holy flashbang.
The reason AI can't fix memory unsafety in the original language is the same reason humans can't do it. There isn't enogh feedback from the compiler.
It's not Bun's or anyone else job to care about Zig's or the ZSF's feelings or publicity.
A project who switches programming languages or frameworks or whatever doesn't need to be afraid of offend anyone.
Terms like "Google it" have been completely replace by "Ask AI".
I personally mostly use google to find businesses close to me and to search reddit and wikipedia.
If you rank by model only 2 Chinese models are in the top 10.
When shit just works for months or years no one is going to come and praise you for stuff you did a while back.
You are better off breaking stuff and then fixing them to show how useful you are.
This is why it's getting traction.
I don't know how much money they make from each unit but major profit is not the goal here. They want to sell more games to more casual people who don't even own a PC anymore.
This is just a x86 PC.
They are selling a x86 PC. All x86 PCs sold by everyone are open and you can install whatever you want.
It's commodity hardware packaged into a small box. There is nothing special here.
Trying to sell it as it if Valve are more consumer friendly here is nonsense.
