   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.

         Can you offer any specifics? The ToC looks quite extensive, which to me indicates a lot of design decisions needed to be made (probably involving many people) and unclear how that process might be accelerated by AI.

         Unless you're suggesting the language design should also be vibed together?

            Sounds like a fun little project, have a bunch of AI pushers fork Zig and see if they can do a better job. I want to see results, not snarky HN comments. After all this progress, ChatGPT should be able to one-shot a better language since AI is so good now... right?

               Nobody is one-shotting big projects. Even humans can't do that.

                  Fabrice Bellard might be an exception.

                     Ha funny but no.
