Marketing speak, that looks to be trying to put Zig over languages like Golang, Vlang, etc... which are well known for their simplicity and readability. The false hype arguably creates confusion, that Zig can be "all things to all peop

Agree with your take on Zig, as it's clear their leadership promotes a foul filled war on other C alternative languages. Not just Rust, but others like Vlang, Dlang, C3, etc... HN has become dominated by them, where other languages (ou

Usually, with most browsers, you can't separate YouTube from Google in order to watch their videos. People can get around this using NewPipe and various forks, that are mostly for Android. There is also FreeTube for the desktop, that d

Think it comes down to preferences and situation. Languages like Jai, Vlang (optional GC), and C3 are viable and they offer compile time too.

I appreciate you taking the time to give examples in D. People are often under the mistaken impression that Zig's compile time is revolutionary, from how it is excessively hyped, but are failing to realize that many other languages hav

Go's runtimefree, looks to be similar in purpose, to Vlang's autofree[1]. But in the case of Vlang, various memory management options are offered, and the GC can be completely turned off and libraries don't depend on it. [1]:

What you are saying is right, but Mozilla looks to be abusing their users. The appropriate thing to do, if they were concerned about looking more honest and showing they care about user's privacy, would be to have the features listed i

That "impression" most likely comes from purposeful propaganda that originates from competitors of V (Vlang). It's a really twisted and foul story of how they tried to suppress the language. ZeQLplus, Papyrus Compiler, Lilly

Thought you made some very good points. Being faster to getting a working prototype and beta out the door, can be the difference between success versus failure for many, even though it might be at the cost of a bit more ram or it being a li

There are also various ways that big companies have to influence judges or increase the odds of getting favorable ones, not even mentioning outright corruption, where quickly and randomly selected jurors are harder to touch.

This is correct, but also the problem. Various governments and organizations don't want to respect privacy, because they see it as a means of control and profit.

Agree with the sentiment, for Zig is continually involved in many other wars (to various degrees), with languages like: Vlang, Dlang, C3, Jai, etc... Of course comparisons are inevitable or to be helpful, but then let consumers choose what

Very good answer and agree. There seems to be a psychological component wrapped up in the mythology versus the reality of what's necessary.

What's even more wild, was reading the complaints and condemnation of competing language creators for having supporters give them donations. It's a much different tune, when one's own pocket is fat with donation money. Wish p
