    This is impressive. I honestly don't know what to think about programming careers, need to reflect on my role in this area. The only thing that comes to mind the that quote from Cypher (Matrix):

    "Buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye."

    Thanks Claude! XD

  • On one hand I kinda feel validated for having jumped ship on Zig 3+ Years ago[1] and moving everything to Rust[2], with the language simply being too unstable and unsafe in my eyes, despite my love for comptime and people arguing that Bun and Tigerbeetle were proof that it wasn't the languages fault.

    But I also feel bad for the Zig project to loose one of their flagship projects, because while I find the project ultimately anachronistic, I know what it's like to pour your sweat, heart and soul into something, and having it replaced within a week is a sobering experience even from afar.

    A couple years ago this would have been unthinkable because of how slow legacy codebases and rewrites are.

    I wonder if Tigerbeetle will also have problems arguing for their solution now that the other project they can point to for customer assurance is gone. And I wonder if they will follow suit eventually simply due to marketing pressure (after having been bitten by the Zig compiler I was surprised that they were putting their super duper high reliability database on top of it at all, but with another big player using it there was at least some peace of mind for their enterprise customers).

  • I missed what the reason given for moving from zig to rust was. Considering 9 days ago it was "This whole thread is an overreaction."

    Is it really just that Anthropic now owns bun and zig is "anti-LLM" for contributions? Was there more justification given elsewhere?
