I don't really understand why it makes sense to spend most of a newsletter about zig 0.7 complaining about another language, instead of the cool stuff about ziglang. They're similar in that they're both "better Cs" but their targets seem pretty different.

I don't see it at all reflective about "investor-friendly" but more the existing community around the language. It's great that zig's is active, but if some of the major community members spend seemingly equal/the majorityu of something like a newsletter about a fairly big development release being incredibly negative toward another project while pretending to be respectful, eh.
I'm not saying you have to cater to me, since I'm a nobody, but this and a few other things about the zig community have made me less interested in spending my limited free time playing with it.
- kristoff_it 6y ago> being incredibly negative toward another project while pretending to be respectful So you don't refute any of my points about the available information on Jai, but you instead dismiss my entire argument a priori, classifying it as a farce. Ok.
- bpeebles 6y agoIt doesn't matter if you're right or wrong about Jai. I just don't understand what it had to do with a ziglang release.
