Oh my gosh! Core memories unlocked:

We didn't know we were privileged. I thought it was normal thing to have.
Comptime here means not "compilation time", but rather ability to run some your code during compilation (i. e. compile-time metaprogramming). Pascal didn't had this.
replyThey probably know that. I specifically mentioned actual compilation time as another one of the things that's great about Zig, so it is relevant to mention. Certainly the language sounds nice from what I'm hearing. These days most languages are deeply neglecting compilation time as a feature (interpreted languages aside), so Zig is a breath of fresh air for me in that regard.
replyGolang is also designed to compile very fast.
replyYes, I do appreciate Go's existence as well.
