    have you ever deployed an erlamg system? the biggest bugbear for concurrent systems is mutable shared data. by inherently being distributable you basically "give up on that" so for…

    ironically with zig most of the things that violate expectations are keywords. so you run head first into a whole ton of them when you first start (but at least it doesn't compile)…

    yeah, its a better c, but like wouldnt it be nice if c had stadardized fat pointers so that if you move from project to project you don't have to triple check the semantics? for ex…

    'const expected = [_]u32{ 123, 67, 89, 99 };' constant array with u32, and let the compiler figure out how many of em there are (i reserve the right to change it in the future)

    why would you need batteries included? the ai can code most integrations (from scratch, if you want, so if you need something slightly off the beaten path it's easy

    the io isnt a single resource? it's a module grouping together a pile of code. and you can swap out implementations. the io modules should be responsible for handing out many faila…
