What Hacker News says
7 sourcesThe specific change: https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/c8d046b288...
I applaud the migration, and I sympathise with the difficulty of running open-source software projects.
Hoping Andrew is ok. The fact he withdrew his comments is a sign of humility. I guess in this context that’s more important than whether you agree or disagree with the comments.
In Andrew Kelley removed his "monkeys" and "losers" references0.15.0 was effectively skipped: https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/1be0f80b15...
In Zig 0.15.1FWIW regarding the package manager, based on the rest of the text my guess is that whoever wrote this intended to say that "Zig will ship with a package manager".
I created https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/pull/228 let's see if it gets accepted :)
In I wrote a Ruby extension in ZigSorry to pull the rug out from under ya'll like this but that article was a couple years old, so I gave it a once-over pass to update it. Mainly the "No hidden allocations" section is rewritten. You can see the full commit diff here: https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/bede1e57b6...
In Why Zig when there is already C++, D, and Rust?No, if I have a command line application, I probably want to write (possibly formatted) output to stdout -- very likely without colors or other features.
A while ago, I tried to figure how how to do the equivalent of C's
int n = 42;
printf("n = %d\n", n);
I was unable to find a straightforward way to do that. (Formatted output to stderr, on the other hand, is easy.) I submitted a bug report and haven't gotten a response.
