Zig can be packaged for Debian, but there are two obstacles. The first one was bootstrapping, but that has been solved by Guix. The second obstacle is unvendoring all the libc for multiple platforms vendored by Zig.

If you are interested, please DM. I am happy to chat about it.

That’s some fair criticism, but the same page tells that the language wanted to have a similar syntax to C and JavaScript.

I think my personal preference for syntax would be Python’s. One day I want to try writing a query tool with https://github.com/pydantic/monty

Shameless plug, but you might like this: https://github.com/IvanIsCoding/celq

jq is the CLI I like the most, but sometimes even I struggled to understand the queries I wrote in the past. celq uses a more familiar language (CEL)

Shameless plug, but if you want to try CEL in your browser: https://celq-playground.github.io/

I wrote the playground and I should link to your website in my docs. This is neat.

I was working on celq. It’s a small Rust CLI. It’s like if jq met the Common Expression Language (CEL)

Re:Pixi: Reproducible Package Management for Robotics on Monday November 03, 2025 @11:33PM (#45807448)
I think people have been sleeping on Pixi. There has been a lot of hype about uv lately and lots of the praise apply to Pixi as well!

Pixi shines in those niches where Conda was the only option. It seems ROS is one of them.

I have been using Pixi with emscripten-forge to create Python WASM distributions. It’s another niche with a lack of tooling. Pixi is the only tool that streamlined my build process.

Keep up with the good work!

This error means that you ran out of OpenAI API credits, probably because of billing issues. I added a more friendly error message with the link to their page https://platform.openai.com/account/usage
