It’s getting attention because the subtext of the article is the zig vs AI ideological battle going on (and zig vs Rust somewhat on the backburner)
Recent events AFAIU:
- bun (bought by big AI) switching to Rust
- zig team banning AI pull requests (because they want to review humans)
- The cloud industry buying all coding tooling companies (uv, vite, bun) but zig being unbuyable
If anybody from the zig core team is reading this: thank you and carry on the good work.
