I like the idea for this project, but not a huge fan of the AI-written docs.

Switched. For anyone else thinking of doing the same, zoxide can import your data from autojump: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide#installation

Here's the command I ran on macOS:

    zoxide import --from=autojump ~/Library/autojump/autojump.txt

Huh? What does this mean? Are there other systems in the US that I’m not aware of?

> Personally I didn’t have borrow checker problems, but that’s because before I started using Rust at work I’d designed and built my own borrow checker. I don’t know if that’s a scalable pedagogy.

Yeah... maybe not, but I can see this being a project in an undergraduate course.

> Ruby is the union of all earlier languages, and it's not even formally documented.

It's documented, but you need $250 to spare: https://www.iso.org/standard/59579.html

To answer your first question: no, past posts can’t be edited (at least not in the iOS app).

Yeah, here's a quote from the 1.50 release post last week:

What does "allocalypse" mean here? Were memory allocations in Zig less explicit in the past?

It continues to amaze me the pace at which kddnewton and co. are able to work. His tweet[1] from a few months ago is really relevant here. Being full-time employees and not just open-source volunteers makes a huge difference!

Second paragraph in OP:

> One approach to building a native GUI for a cross-platform application is to write all of the business logic in a cross-platform language (C, Rust, Zig, etc.) and then write the platform-specific GUI code. This is the approach I take with my my terminal emulator and it works really well. As of the current date writing this post, 93% of my repository is business logic in Zig and C, and 4% is macOS-specific GUI code in Swift.
