What does that have to do with the choice of programming language? You can't implement an incremental compiler in Zig?

    > I never said this. I understood your original comment to imply that you disagree with their choice of self-hosting the Zig compiler because they should instead have focused on architectural improvements, in which case I disagree because the two things are completely orthogonal in my mind—the benefits of self-hosting have little to do with performance, and certainly don't come at the cost of it. I apologize if that's not what you were implying. > This is a thinly veiled ad hominem. I never personally attacked you, so I'm not sure why you think this is ad hominem. That's a very uncharitable interpretation of my comment.
