I get it, and I think it is legit.

But I'd rather celebrate high quality software than how the software is made.

I appreciate that people put the effort in what they do, but the effort could be spent on other activities that are not "typing".

Why? This was AI-made and inspired to Zed editor GUI toolkit, egui, so it's mostly a derived work.

What's so special about Zig dev that puts them aside from the giants they stand on?

What giants do "we" stand on?

Damn this person's obviously is so bitter towards Rust... I wonder why he's so obsessed with it?

I mean, if they really care about software correctness, I wonder why take a very discutibile position and say that "safety doesn't matter if you don't use the correct process". Yeah, I mean, having some guardrails is better than none, right? If they really cared about correctness, they would really strive to put all the possible guardrails in place, wouldn't they? Maybe they are bitter because their fav language is not as popular as the other?

But there are so many languages, I wonder why picking on Rust specifically.

I think that too many people are conflating their hate for AI, which is a technology, with the sick dynamics pushing it to gain profit. It's consumerism and capitalism to blame, AI is just a technology. As such, we want our leaders to be able to properly use such tech. But our leaders are clearly unable to do so.

> But our leaders are clearly unable to do so.

What should be done then?

I use AI and see value in it but agree the hype train is very annoying. My employer tracks how much we're using AI related tools and has a KPI we need to hit. Thats very annoying too. Reminds of communism: "ideas so great they're mandatory", AI: "A tool so amazing its use is mandatory".

Did you (or will you) implement some kind of e2e (fuzzy?) testing comparing the two binaries? Do you have particular plans regarding the release of this (for ex to not break users workflows or things like that)?

The experiment might have turned out well, or the author might have spent enough time to bring it to a place they was comfortable.

Frustration moves mountains, I don't think this rewrite was done lightly.

The rewrite was obviously done lightly.
