Lol relatable. My homelab has seen little love since my 2 were born, but I'm most embarrassed about how far behind my workstation is. Scared to update Arch at this point.
If you catch yourself thinking this is cool/impressive, just mentally append "so buy our product!" to any pithy little marketing drivel you read to help ground yourself in reality.
Balanced takes like this are the only reason I still come back to HN. A shot at K3S in my homelab is in my backlog but young kids have set me back. If you have any material that touches on what you said above I'd appreciate a link. So much crap out there which is just Hello World blogspam.
If your bar for good software is "released asap", more power to you. Fortunately though, that's not everyone's stance. Not everyone is aiming to shit out the next big crud app.
Wow this is packed with features and looks great. Usually I skim through the docs for new langs waiting to see the design decision that makes me think "whyyyyy", but I think the most jarring thing for me here was really only the {- -} block comments. #, // and /*/ are ubiquitous and (IMHO) very unoffensive. @OP, any particular reason you opted for {- -}? No hate, just curious
xslang.org also looks great and I found the text in the guide + docs to be easy to read. I usually have to read C#/TS docs, so it was refreshingly terse.
Commercial software development will increasingly become dominated by the 'get shit done' types who had less appreciation for the craft. The slop will flow and no one will care, because the people who cared for the craft will have left or been pushed out. A shame.
>There’s the 4x speedup claimed by the Bun team, already available on Zig 0.16.0!
>Each [incremental] update is taking less than 0.4s, compared to the 120+ seconds taken to rebuild with LLVM. In other words, incremental updates are over 300 times faster on this codebase than fresh LLVM builds are. In comparison, an enhancement capped at a 4x improvement is pretty abysmal. [..] Again, this feature is available in Zig 0.16.0—you can use it!
