> I'm very confused on why C3 or Odin rarely get any attention at all, despite being in the same C-replacement crowd Your observation is valid, and many would say because something smells very fishy with what HN is doing. Zig is pushed at extremely nonsensical levels on HN, despite there being very worthy and interesting language contenders in the category: C3[1], Odin[2], Vlang[3], Dlang[4], Zen C[5], etc... We rarely get to see news about these other languages, but instead are constantly saturated with and hit over the head with news about Zig (despite all kinds of issues and being beta). And as if people don't have interests in or don't want to see anything about other young or newer languages in the category.
