<p>but zig has no ternaries, so it does not apply to a discussion about zig’s syntax.<p>and ternary is a branch with no variable introduction, so it doesn’t apply again.<p>(it’s basically a weak switch expression, and the value moves leftwards towards its invocation.)</p>

<p>|capture| hides an inconsistency that bugs me – everywhere else, assignment to a variable flows leftwards. |capture| is an unnatural rightwards assignment.<p>in general, I like zig syntax, but i find that it had very little regard to how the eye moves on the page. it’s jarring at times.</p>

<p>it’s little-endian protocols that require that you juggle your struct fields.<p>plus, there are still big-endian protocols that will stay for a long time. for example, MIDI clip files in MIDI 2.0 are big-endian.</p>

<p>you need different packed structs for little- and big-endian data. and casting with little-endian data is a nightmare - you need to reverse-cascade your struct fields to be in accordance with the little-endian bit-pattern. (or have a comptime function that does it for you, of course. but then you lose all declarations for the struct). what should be a simple writing down of a protocol is now a pedantic and error-prone ordeal.</p>

<p>bun seems to be committed to slop rust already. so, with their ethic, maybe we should just disassociate them from zig and let them go realize their slop dreams?<p>zig is on its way to improving compilation times in its own pace and does so for the benefit of the project and everyone involved, so what is left to care for about bun by anthropic’s past?</p>
