Downvote for this web site is a horror movie billboard and zig already has a build system which is zig and that's one of it's neat features.

People are free to knock themselves out with Bazel if they’re into that kind of masochism, but having it as the ONLY way to build your OSS project is a big no.

well, bazel is by far the most reliable one so I'm not sure why you're complaining

The code of the project absolutely does look like it was done with AI lol, it’s a single commit…

I’d invite you to reconsider the kind of language you’re using to interact with other forum members here.

Dropping to profanities is not conducive to maintaining an environment that’s facilitating dialogue between its members.

I’ve seen you at least twice call other members here “you idiot”, “get lost”. Etc. Have a hard think as to whether you could rephrase that without the name calling, and if at worse you can’t manage to, you can always ask an LLM to do it for you.

Given that this entire project is a single[1] vibe-coded commit, I really doubt the author bothered buying hardware to test it. [1]: https://github.com/bustermq/bustermq/commits/master/

Sure, the author just happened to one-shot a project and a landing page on new year's eve. And their writing style is just coincidentally very similar to Claude's.

Who's going to buy that?

nobody cares about the website being done with AI because the code of the project itself is not AI you need to touch grass

Dude, when I move projects to GitHub I also often collapse everything into a single commit.

I do this to avoid having to check e-mail addresses and names in commits - maybe I mistakenly made a commit from my work account etc.

After the “initial” commit making it all public, I start to work “in the open”. I see many others doing it the same way.

That is NOT a reliable indicator of slop!

Claude did rewrote lots of my original messy code. No shame in that? But in the end the interest was in the underlying architecture, applied to nats protocol. Anyway.

> 1/ AIs are terrible at Zig

Claude isn't, and the zig subreddit is actually full of AI slop projects unfortunately.

And yesterday's front page Zig project was also vibe coded (though in that case the author acknowledged it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46442792)

Its an extract of two weeks of work. And yes Claude did the website and rewrote my code that was absolutely without comments and a gigantic mess. It's an extract of the fourth attempt actually. Src4/ was the original folder. But my goal my to test the architecture applied to nats not to say I've done it without ai?

Anyone can buy a 9950x on Amazon or any tech store, it's consumer hardware.

Who cares whether it’s vibe coded ? As long as it’s good and well maintained over time of course.

Maybe there is a niche market for artisanal software engineering where real humans make holes in punchcards, but I would not bet.

> zig subreddit

Is the only zig community that Andrew Kelley "anti-endorses"[1]:

> I don’t have the time or energy to evaluate most Zig communities so I can neither endorse nor anti-endorse them, however, the Zig subreddit is an exception.

> It’s an awful place and I stand by my decision to permanently close it. I am unhappy that it was reopened against my will.
