Congratulations to zig team. Good to know they are trying pragmatic approach to LLM now. I left the zig eco-system due to zig core members hostile behaviour toward humans not just LLM, so good to see the change they are becoming pragmatic. For me I am slowly porting the same work to odin language [1].
Background is I created issue and one pull request to fix them in zig compiler version 0.16.1 issue numbers 36812, 36811 (you cannot access them as my account is banned can see my fork at [2]). Respecting the community’s no AI stand. For these specific issues I wrote the issue and code myself and not let AI write it. Spend a lot of time on it. Subsequently without any notice my account was banned because my projects on github using zig uses LLM. This was done without message or any information. My account was banned on zig repository.
I can now understand the other side of coin how bun team might have been treated with disdain when they used LLM.
I wrote an email and left the zig community, have many work in zig but slowly moving them to odin.
I feel personal disdain should not be spilled on to people who are pragmatic on using LLM. I was a very big evangelist of zig for their no LLM stand and promoted them among my community, but with poor treatment by community I just left. You can still see projects I wrote in zig [3].
I have worked with postgreql community since 1997 and python community since 1998. Never felt such hostile community. So all the best and I wish zig continue its progress
don't let people gaslight you here. i mean, look at how the creator treated a person who was a zig evangelist and was donating tens of thousands of dollars to the project:
"Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs."
"Jarred was a stinky manager. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations, low empathy, no experience. Just a total shit show"
"When Jarred announced the Rust rewrite, we were ecstatic. It seemed too good to be true. I have to admit, I didn't think the technology was there, to pull off this stunt. But he did it, and now I'm metaphorically sipping delicious tea from a mug that says "It Tastes Like It's Not My Problem Anymore"." [1]
or what about when he called people "monkeys" because he didn't like their product [2]
or when their vp of "community" called github employees clowns [3]
so don't let people tell you that there isn't a pattern here. and when this kind of behaviour comes from the top it shapes the rest of the community

Are these claims false, though?
