C J Silverio@fasterthanlime I was frantically adjusting all volume levels everywhere until I noticed the comment confirming it wasn't just me. :D
William D. Jones@fasterthanlime Cosigned. Yes, for selfish reasons, but cosigned all the same.
@fasterthanlime Oh right, caveat that Zig's plan as-is seems like it's gonna screw a lot of ppl who need C++ interop. I think something will need to be done about that. But I welcome the end of the LLVM monoculture.
Jae@fasterthanlime oof, just started using this for game dev 😅
it’s a good idea but as folks are saying I hope some tooling sticks around for C++ cases even if it means installing a seperate Zig tool if you need that.
(apparently C code will continue to work though?)
Lokathor@fasterthanlime If current Zig is just a macro system over a C/++ backend that doesn't bode well for Rust.

Tim@fasterthanlime I just gained interest in Zig after watching a talk Andrew Kelley gave at Goto where he sells Zig on the fact it can do this exact thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXrb-DqsBNU
This got me so excited I then watched multiple talks on Zig where speakers also mention this as a selling point.
Now Kelley seems to be walking back but this is still so flaky.
A guy from Uber whose talk I just saw is in the issue comments saying how much it would screw him up. At the least it's a complete PR disaster
