The Zig core team is pretty chill and pretty united around strong engineering ethos.
Comment on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
echodot@feddit.uk 1 week agoI’ve never even heard of Zig before today and it’s right out of the gate with drama, cat fights, and public spats. Got to love the programming world.

Oh I did not mean to appear combative or being a contrarian. I don’t even care about Zig or LLVM to be honest. I just thought that that clarification was sort of necessary seeing as the GitHub thing is a reaction to MS bullshit, whereas the LLVM thing at least seemed to me like it wasn’t (initially) from some drama or a secret or anything.
Still, this is assuming I’m not just hallucinating what I am claiming.

I think that comes from Andrew Kelley having strong opinions, sometimes with harsh language added. It’s like the internet is over-correcting for the much stronger and harsher early internet days, so he’s admonished for being “unprofessional”. I don’t care for this sanded-down squeaky-clean vision of the internet that is being pushed for, particularly by the corporate crowd.

Tbh zig is as chill as an iceberg compared to rust! I really appreciate the mindset of “c with rough edges removed” that zig promotes. Already using it in our companies stm32 projects
