otl,

This made me realise that the article is not about the quote or any sociology; it’s about politics and John Howard. I dislike articles like this just like the ones about Elon Musk. Political nonsense to get people riled up.

otl,

Zig is what I thought Rust would be like when I first heard of Rust. I’d love to try Zig for some hobby things but can’t get it running on OpenBSD (yet!).

otl,

Would you say Go is popular enough to be called mainstream?

otl,

Oh there is absolutely zero disappointment.

Years ago I wanted to learn how OpenBSD worked. Some people said to me “ah you want to get into programming at OS level? I was a bit disappointed with Go. But don’t learn C, learn Rust; Rust is the future there”. So as a total novice I looked at all 3 on the page. My impressions were: Go looks easy, C looks a bit harder, Rust looks… way too advanced for a beginner like me.

Later when I heard of Zig I started reading and it looked a bit more like what I expected a “future C” to look like.

I wish I had more time and skills to do work in C, Rust and Zig. I’m a Go programmer by trade.

otl,

so the server and bandwidth will be the cheapest tier possible and the app developed by the lowest bidder

But billed at the rate of the most expensive tier of infrastructure and charged at the highest bidder’s price but outsourced to the lowest bidder, of course!
