"just trying to score internet points"
No, Zig absolutely has an awesome compiler. It's not "a toy" or a "one man passion project" and it's condescending to reduce it to those terms, as if it is not also somehow "industrial scale".
- steveklabnik 5y agoI absolutely agree that it is awesome. That doesn't mean that returning condescension with more of it is helping the conversation, or getting said awesome compiler the respect it deserves.
- jorangreef 5y agoThanks Steve, how would you rather that I reword the comparison in that last sentence? Let me know and I'll make the edit. To be fair, your comment would also be better served without the insinuation of "just trying to score internet points".
- steveklabnik 5y agoI try to stick to just the facts, but I'm not perfect at it either. That's fair! I'll cut that too. Sorry about that!
- jorangreef 5y agoMe too. That's one thing I've learned from HN. I've made the edit. Thanks for the tip. I've enjoyed and learned from this exchange with you.
