I am so happy to here that thanks :) Ignore my complaint about the failing Zig build. I am using a script that also builds ZLS afterwards and it was ZLS that was failing not Zig. So sorry.

I just saw in their CI pipeline that the build for x86_64 Linux failed. Their error however is different from the one occurring on my Linux machine, where the build complains when it is almost done that the put method needs 2 and not 3 parameters.

What does it all mean Andrew... do we have to wait longer now. THE AGONY.... Oh captain, my captain... :D

No it has not been 0.5 for years. Check their homepage. You can see the timeline for the releases there. 0.5 was released a few days ago and is a major step for the language.

Details matter so much in C++ that it's the worst programming language in existence.

C++ is just horrible and articles like this prove this.

Let us always remember that Americans are the only nation that threw two nuclear bombs on another country and killed countless civilists.

New comment by overflyer in "Why an abundance of choice is not the same as freedom"

overflyer — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 18:58:55 +0000

When you had therapy for several years there are very wise therapists and authors that teach you that the opposite iOS true despite sounding paradox: Freedom is the limitation of choices.

Elon can give them 400B and he would still have a net worth of 100B and from that he can again get back to his former net worth in a few years. The world is not fair.

Steve Jobs was an absolut malignent narcissist and a copycat. Why not Dennis Ritchie for example? This is ridiculous.

New comment by overflyer in "GPT-5 goes hard on real-world programming"

overflyer — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 06:20:07 +0000

Of course. The author had to be bullshitting. It tried it many times already and it is impossible to let any frontier model program in Zig. The language is evolving too fast and can have breaking changes everyday and the knowledge cutoff for most AI models is only somewhere around the end of last year. Btw, the knowledge cutoff always being so far out-of-date is one of the things I absolutely hate using AI for.

Dude Zig is clearly pre 1.0. It can introduce breaking changes with every commit and rightfully so. I mean d'oh it's Not ready for Prime Time.
