This is an amusing argument to make in favor of Rust, since it's exactly the kind of dismissive statement that Ada proponents make about other languages including Rust.

Come on now. This isn't acceptable behavior.

(EDIT: The parent has since edited this comment to contain more than just "zig bad rust good", but I still think the combative-ness and insulting tone at the time I made this comment isn't cool.)

Respectfully, the parent only offers up a Zig compile time metric. That's it. That's the entire comment.

This HN post about Rust is now being dominated by a cheap shot Zig one liner humblebrag from the lead author of Zig.

I think this thread needs a little more nuance.

That's correct, but slinging cheap shots at each other is not how discussions on this site are supposed to be.

Yes, but your comment offers none.

FWIW, I think your revised comment is far better, even though I disagree with some of the framing, there's at least some substance there.

Being frustrated by perceived bad behavior doesn't mean responding with more bad behavior is a good way to improve the discourse, if that's your goal here.

It's all good. I'm very guilty of bad behavior myself a lot of the time. It's on all of us to give gentle nudges when we see each other getting out of line. I deserve to be told the same if you see me doing this too!
