Considering that the language is "not done yet", I think the documentation is quite ok for now. But I'd really like a proper language specification, similar to https://go.dev/ref/spec https://go.dev/ref/spec, updated in lockstep with the implementation. I also agree that the build system needs some minimal documentation. It is a bit arcane without it.
Considering that a major goal of Zig is to build and maintain robust software, the decision of making unused variables an error is interesting and worth exploring. It works pretty well in practice when we use ZLS, which goes back to your point about making ZLS part of the standard toolchain.
> deal with your success
And how exactly should the Zig team deal with its success? That's a small team, with limited funding. Do you think they should prioritize the pain points you listed over the ones in their current roadmap?
