You really should learn a few new languages if you think that’s remotely true. For example, Lisp macros are the distant ancestors of most metaprogramming techniques, dating from the 60s. But there are many similar techniques that precede Zig comptime and Jai, like D’s mixins and templates, which together have very similar power to comptime. There are also Nim macros which I believe also precede Jai. Even the C preprocessor could probably be considered an inspiration for anyone creating a C competitor before we need to invoke Jai ideas.

You’ve made this claim on here before and when I asked you to substantiate it with a source you were completely unable to.

That's your opinion or you have a source for that?

Not really. Rust was a thing long before Jai.

I'm sorry but Zig has been used to create actual production software for many companies whereas Jai has been used maybe once for a mediocre game.
