   How is Zig doing as a project? I remember they took a hard line against AI

      It looks like they're spending 5 months what should be a 1 month job these days.

         Filed a compiler bug related to dwarf tables that screws up debugging and line of code coverage that they completely ignored, just because I mentioned that I had every LLM check it to confirm it's a bug, since all I know is what kcov and every coverage tool generates incorrect coverage data for my repo, for 100% certain.

            Sounds like you violated the clearly stated project rules and admitted to it. Are you surprised that they're not engaging with you?

               It's a violation of project rules to confirm bugs with AI?

                  "NO LLMs for finding bugs" is easier written as "Don't use the tools your adversaries will"

                  I've written code a long time and that's probably the dumbest rule I've seen.

                     Can a programming language have an adversary?

                        Given all more modern programming language implementations include a standard library that will be attacked by people: yes.
