Plus some of the issues are clearly written with LLMs, and apparently there's an active contributor who has been using LLMs to translate comments and help with code - https://github.com/ZigEmbeddedGroup/microzig/pull/1087: > Yeah we know you're working with an LLM. That is fine (imo), as long as you're not doing drive-by slop PRs. These have been rather good quality, and you've been testing on hardware (which is important) So it feels odd for them to suddenly change from this (clearly working) setup.
In MicroZig to Adopt Strict No LLM / No AI Policy
The most relevant uses of Zig that come to mind are: - Bun, as you mentioned - https://tigerbeetle.com/ - https://www.uber.com/en-IT/blog/bootstrapping-ubers-infrastr... Plus a bunch of other companies (including some very big ones) and projects that use Zig here and there, eg AWS uses cargo-zigbuild https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/blob/e2d5... Zig also has a few other very promising OSS projects: - https://github.com/riverwm/river (wayland compositor) - https://github.com/ZigEmbeddedGroup/microzig (HAL for embedded development) - https://machengine.org/ (truly cross-platform gamedev) - https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev (another serious gamedev toolkit) Just off the top of my mind. Like for all things, you gotta get started somewhere and this is where we are at the moment.
