No, it's because it is hard. If it is a bad idea, why would I want to do it?

Zig embeds clang to compile C code. This doesn't add a new dependency since Zig already depends on LLVM. If there is a future where the self-hosted Zig backend is good enough to not depend on LLVM anymore, there might be a reason to use a C compiler written in Zig (possibly https://github.com/Vexu/arocc)

For Morrowind it didn't just upgrade the rendering, it completely changed the aesthetic of the scene. Is that on purpose? At that point you can't call the results better, only different.

Built-in names are essentially reserved words, and there are dozens of them. The @ prefix ensures you don't step on user's variable names, and that you can add new built-ins without making breaking changes.

Please don't do "const Self = @This();" if the type isn't generic. It is pointless, redundant, ugly.
What issues have public struct fields caused?

It isn't possible, compiler will complain about "actual" being an undeclared identifier. The function arguments are declared in order.

The answer to help beginners understand highly generic rust code is not more abstraction and magic.

Re:Goodbye to the C++ Implementation of Zig

from only a glance and without having ever used nim, it seems to be more abstracted from the machine, whereas zig is closer. nim code should be shorter, nicer, closer to ideal pseudocode. safer too, i imagine. zig code should be more explicit, and if you do it right, more efficient in time and memory.
zig also has a philosophy of, quoted from https://ziglang.org: "No hidden control flow. No hidden memory allocations. No preprocessor, no macros.". this also should make zig code more explicit, but probably more verbose too.
i could also be completely wrong. like i said, i know nothing of nim other than what the homepage says. don't listen to me.

Advertising is not meant to be educational, it's meant to make you aware the product exists. Of course you're don't have to trust what the company is saying, but now you know their product exists and what it does. If it was something you were looking for, you can now research it and ask for opinion.

When helix is more ready, I will probably switch to it.
