I just read AndyKelley's comment you mentioned, and I can't find anything wrong with it; it's not even saying anything negative about Rust. It just observes that Rust spends more.
Is $100k/year a good salary? Depends. For a software engineer, no, since most software engineers make more. For a paramedic, yes, since most paramedics make less.
To know if $15k is a lot to spend on CI and a website, a great way to answer that question is to look at what peers spend on the same thing. Hard to think of many better peer comparisons for Zig than Rust.
- veber-alex 1y agoTo continue with your metaphor what he did is basically say "My salary is great because I make more than that other guy". That doesn't mean anything. The comparison to Rust is meaningless. Each project has different demands and requirements from their infrastructure. For example, Rust compiles all open-source crates on a regular basis to test for regressions. You can't just point to Rust and say, "Look at that guy." If you want to justify the expenses of your infrastructure you need to explain where the money goes.

Comparing to anything is how a normal human would judge whether the spending is relevant. It is call price comparison. Whether it is a valid comparison is up to the person to decide. And more often that not when the two pricing are so vastly different that person should look a little deeper.
