This kind of thought is popular in the web world where browsers get an update every 3 days and you don't control the hosting services, so constant maintenance is unavoidable.

But in the world of desktop development it's possible for a library to be "done", having a 100% stable codebase going forward and requiring no maintenance. And it's not bad, it's actually good.

Requiring every dependency to be constantly maintained is a massive drain on productivity.

Looks like all the 2 users of C3 came here to complain about Zig. Why should we listen to you?

I've never even heard of C3, I use C++ and Jai.

I've never used Zig either, I just disagree that requiring constant maintenance is a good.

Once Zig hits 1.0 it will essentially be done. They don't plan on making further changes to the language, so they want to get it right while they can.
