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?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again- it's a cult that bans dissent

    I’ve not found the zig folks to ban dissent, they engage in a lot of thoughtful dialog. Just because they’ve made a different decision for how they take contributions than other people agree with doesn’t make them a cult?
