Re:Why Zig over C for Systems Programming by seanw444 on Friday November 13, 2026 @02:32PM (#50488563)
Regarding the threads I'm seeing in the comments here: it's so frustrating that we have languages like Zig and Nim, among others, which are built for beauty and intuition, but then we have the naysayers that just say "everything that's not Rust or Go is dead because of LLMs, it's over, shut it down and go home".

The ability to vomit out half-baked fragile code at record speeds via plagiarism factories of unprecedented scale with little mental overhead has swung the pendulum so hard in the opposite direction of intellectualism and the human mind. This is why people are depressed about AI. It's a revolution toward soullessness.
