    Zig is overall pretty good as a language and it does what it needs to: staying in the lane of the purpose is very important. It is why I do not particularly care for some languages…

    It's 'easier' for some people but you lose GNU bash compatibility and it kinda underlines all of the issues with interactive only shell systems -- a lack of interoperability. It's …
