It isn’t a claim about the capabilities or features of Zig or any other language. I don’t see how it makes a big difference to the the reader. We are talking about the exact wording was of those advising Andrew to not do comptime and their exact position. I feel this a bikeshedding.

Making this into a huge topic that requires evidence and citations seems a bit over the top. I would say you guys don’t know how journalism works. You equate article writing with scientific journals and papers. They are not the same thing.

I think what is at the core is getting the language description correct.
