Btw. my personal reason not to try #Zig so far, is its absence from my OS, #Debian.

However, after almost four years, that might change!

#JesseRosenstock published a preliminary package for review here: https://mentors.debian.net/package/zig/ Thanks!

I didn't try it, but can confirm, that it builds:

dget https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/z/zig/zig_0.15.2-1.dsc

sbuild … --extra-repository='deb http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main' zig_0.15.2-1.dsc

See https://bugs.debian.org/995670 for progress.

Banging interview. The interviewer is fine, he just asks some fairly simple questions, but Andrew has so many good things to say it works. It’s so refreshing to see an actual human being in tech for once. goated with the sauce no less
