New comment by pelasaco in "Pledging another $400k to the Zig software foundation"

Is this really recognition for what Zig has already achieved, or is it simply another way of financing its future development?

Mitchell clearly benefits from Zig succeeding. Well, some of his products depend on it. From a cynical point of view, donating nearly a million dollars is also a way to gain soft power over the language's future direction...

I'm not suggesting that's his motivation though... I'm just asking whether someone who funds such a large share of a language's development inevitably ends up influencing its direction, even if he don't formally control the project.

I like it. I just wonder if today transpiling is better then Agentic Programming. Any specific use case where i should use it? With a good model, SKILLS.md, AGENTS.md and prompts I am able to do - allegedly - a better job then a transpiler, no?

> however I'm beginning to think that their greater contribution is ghostty

Is that meant as an argument in favor of "another $400k for Zig" or against it?

I like Ghostty, but investing $800k to develop a programming language that is primarily known for producing a terminal emulator doesn't sound like a particularly strong argument in its favor.

Genuine question. I’m not trolling.

I can imagine LLM can, or will be able to, write safe C too. At least safer than people can.

> - do the research with your setup and publish it.

Which sounds arrogant and IMO don't belong to hacker news. IMO it's ok to don't like some questions. But it's ok to have such question in a non-research forum like here.

Any idea whether we can still find its source code? It would be nice to be able to run it today, as we do with other historic Unix flavors.

i went the same road, and have great results. No mobile. Every night, read books with the kids. Video Game in the weekend, only 2D games, like Mario 3. Worked great for us. Now they are teenagers, doing well in sports and school, have always a book with them, and no social media.

Childhood computing for me smells like LOGO programming, King Quest, Space Quest and Police Quest games.. I loved test drive from Sierra. I graduated as game developer, because of Sierra. I wanted to work at nintendo. I ended up writing my firsts exploits in 99, got some fame on bugtrag and became cyber security expert in the 2000s.. but the only thing that I wanted, was to do game dev for living.. maybe one day...

The repository owner is a true ruby hero. I am not sure if the name is a joke, and he was just fooling around, but the code is real.

But it still great today, no? I mean professionally I am in the MS 365 world, which is definitely not better than gmail. We have some mail servers for services and until now we weren't able (for instance) to find an open source alternative to gmail and office 365.. any recommendation?

wow "Gmail ruined email" is a strong argument. Hard to agree with. Gmail revolutionized and democratized email.

however my last experiences with IBM was: they send you 10 junior consultants, they get the money, for 10 senior consultants, and still cannot deliver what they promised.
