I can't be the only one who finds the whole forced "inter breeding" bit morally extremely dubious, can I?

sounds like big news

I'd have thought that the recent accidents would prevent these companies from rushing to market...

how many times have you obsessed about the perfect HN comment though?

There is something particularly asymmetric about the way the board looks in this one

While it may be hard to show that Java's demand has decreased - and overall it may well not have since many companies which were using Java will continue to do so just by inertia - but for the latest generation of programmers, specially ones focused on ML / Data Science, Java feels like ancient history

apparently you aren't the first one to wonder that [1]. It is Rachel Kroll, an engineer at fb [2]. Good point about the summary.

Clearly both Rust and Zig tackle tough problems and implement solutions that will have trade offs. I don't think the top answer to a post talking about Zig's advantages should defensively try to point out how things could be different in Rust - if only you knew exactly what to do - instead it would be nice to see more discussion about other areas where Rust is perhaps better suited than Zig. For instance, you Rust clearly handles memory/pointers better (?), while maybe Zig is easier to learn?
