"portable" and "has ports" mean two different things. there might be targets Zig doesn't have great support for yet but what I meant is that bootstrapping a target to Zig is a simpler endeavor than it is for C

you should be able to get it from your system package manager or flatpack. linux is annoying here because it's a GUI app.

Zig is even more portable than C
what good in the world could possibly come from this being available? did anyone working on this ever think about that?

would it not have been easier to start from v6, the one already in typescript?

Route A is what concretely what is behind those "a select few are seeing 100x productivity increases" posts. agents bring enterprise-level engineering to the IC. your average enterprise PM has no idea how the code works either but knows who to call when it breaks or needs a new feature added. the industry split on agentic use lies in how much and to what degree you believe "but AI is different!" in this analogy

being good at "agentic engineering" is directly correlated with being a good eng manager. when you can treat code like cattle that builds features and passes test and not care about the lines. but what's lost is the knowing that someone knows the lines.
