You can use GLM in OpenCode with a z.ai subscription by default as well. Also it'd be good if you mentioned you were involved with nemesis8.

That's cool. I imagine I could also maintain a MinGW package that can be downloaded through the Zig package manager and statically linked without involving the zig libc? (Such that…

This is very exciting for zig projects linking C libraries. Though I'm curious about the following case: Let's say I'm building a C program targeting Windows with MinGW & only usin…

Check Detour out: https://github.com/graphitemaster/detour?tab=readme-ov-file#... I suspect with combination of Detour & Zapps it could be possible.

Can you build GUI programs with this? I'm thinking anything that would depend on GPU drivers. Anything built with SDL, OpenGL, Vulkan, whatever.

If your use case is generating html, MathML is supported in all modern browsers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML#browser_...

I will be even more impressed with linux syscall stability if your implication is that (some) people need to recompile their software for each major update on all other UNIXes.

I'm only thinking in terms of Linux distributions since I never needed to deploy software on other UNIXes (excluding macOS, but Apple constantly forces changes anyway). Do other UN…

That doesn't give you independence from the libc, does it? By extension you lose distro-independence too (not sure if Detour supports musl-based ones, need to run tests). Agree tha…

That's only true if you're making CRUD software and easily replaceable by any random programmer. For anything more serious LLMs are only useful as a better search engine.

Keep in mind there _may_ be a negative feedback loop there. If you're building your software in a way that won't be able to perform better with superior disk/db/network performance…

All fair, but: > As for the "...latest version of the SDKs..", that is moving the goal posts, there is no mention of it on [...] I thought it was implied since tooling & library br…

Okay, C++ is believable, but can you really build a Java / .NET project that was not touched for 20+ years with no changes to the code or the build process (while also using the la…

I landed on "immutable distros by default for average users" as well. It is a more Windows/macOS like experience where it is much harder to mess up the system. Flatpak guarantees e…
