If "relationships matter" and you need an app to remind you of that, I'd posit you have a larger problem than any app can solve. Consider putting down the device and connecting with your peeps in the real world every once in

> Yes, and it boggles my mind why C/C++ hasn't come up with a better built-in build system already. Wait... you didn't get the memo? They did, and renamed the language in the process... it's called Rust. ;)

(Rust user here, but admirer from afar of Zig and the principles it seems rooted in.) My peanut gallery observation is that a very bright person named Andrew set out on a journey of hard work to come up with a new language. Along the way he

Exactly. No one is saying "rewrite it in Rust because it already works". They typically say it because the thing in question is a bug farm, or it's really difficult to maintain. I looked for the author's (whoever they a
