> Quite long devlog coming up, apologies—I got a little carried away with this one! mlugg, please don't apologize for creating something I actually want to read. I'm drowning in low effort garbage, the in depth technical explanation is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Might as well apologize for creating a language without a garbage collector, sure most people are unwilling to think, but some of us like nice things and are actually willing to apply effort.

Why I've moved more to a couple of language/software dev discords and away from Hacker News. Way too much uninteresting AI nonsense on here for a while now.

    Usually I bounce between the Zig and Odin discords, as well as the Handmade Network discord.

  That and the continual pushing of Zig and Rust to ridiculous levels, like HN had investments in them or were getting payouts, and as if few to no other programming languages exist.
