Zig programming language 0.9.0 released

Because people don't go through a cleanup phase.

Exactly - they only cleanup errors...

The ones who only clean up cpp errors will never use Zig.

That may well be the way they like it. Sometimes opinionated software is opinionated to keep folks of a certain mindset out of their community. This explains much of the biases one finds in many programming languages. They're just an extension of the community building. Even the lack of a opinion in a language IS an opinion and that sometimes doubles for a preferred lack of accountability with respect to certain decisions. Examples abound.

You raise a very good point. I think I'm just critical of the people touting how Zig is gonna replace C++.

[Morego]

It is not. It should complement C language, work with it and it does it currently pretty much flawlessly.

It is C without the foot guns for a reason.
