Hey, Matthew Knight here. I'll add what I had to say in the Discord announcement:

> It is entirely valid for people to want to use LLMs for their projects and in their communities. It's also valid to want to keep them free of LLMs. Unfortunately those preferences are not compatible, one approach cannot coexist with the other. A choice needs to be made for MicroZig/ZEG projects. I've developed a preference for working without LLMs, and as I'm the most active maintainer of the project, shipping projects like the SYCL Badge, I'm imposing my preference.

> I have no hard feelings for anyone that decides to make an LLM fork of microzig.

reference or no, GNU C is a child who can only be loved by their mother

Alon is an IDE that is able to compile Solana programs in the browser by making use of a WebAssembly port of Solana's fork of LLVM. It is able to compile Solana programs into both Solana BPF programs and WebAssembly modules.

Alon also comes with a WebAssembly port of Solana's program virtual machine, which is used to run Solana program test suites in the browser.

The code editor for Alon additionally comes with Treesitter integrated, which Alon uses to incrementally build a syntax tree which may be used to develop static analysis tools for Solana programs.

valve has been doing a pretty great job on this front. I'm not sure what they actually get out of it but I do think the linux market is a lot bigger than it seems. I game on windows because enough games I play with other people don't work well enough on proton. I do really like this linker approach because it tries to address one of the pain points of developing games for linux.

Zig showtime got me to jump into the zig community which is the first online/distributed community I've decided to join. Excited to see what he accomplishes now that zig is his actual day job!
