This thinking seems... backward (or at least overall counterproductive/like more work) to me. Do you not have a test suite? At least, unit tests for core language features? It seems (with all due respect) a bit irresponsible not to have this, it would at least prevent most regressions in tested code for example (such as breaking "for" loops, as someone else mentioned)
- kristoff_it 4y agoZig has thousands of tests, but the problem space of a programming language is pretty big, making fuzzing and other similar techniques worth the effort in the long run. The discussion wasn't about the existence of basic unit tests. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/tree/master/test https://github.com/ziglang/zig/tree/master/test
- pmarreck 4y agoI also possibly misinterpreted someone else's comment about "for" breaking, assuming it was a regression instead of an intended syntax change which might have been covered by units. My bad
