It is consistently surprising to me how many people bikeshed this particular decision.
Zig has taken an aggressive stance on many things. For instance, it has no default allocator, no compiler warnings, variable shadowing is a compile error, no function overloading, no operator overloading, etc. And all of these decisions have pages and pages of discussion and justification.
But hey, let's keep talking about the one that is the most trivial.
- BubRoss 7y agoBreaking by default for no other reason than because you think windows 'does it wrong' is not bikeshedding something trivial. Think about this. You tell your supervisors to check out zig. They ask why it doesn't work with the small program and compiler options they copied from the website. How would you explain that to them? Are you going to try to convince them that ignoring a character is a problem and that the time they spent wondering why it doesn't work is justified?
