we (ZML) have been back to following Zig master since std.Io was introduced. It's not that bad tbh. Also most changes really feel like actual improvements to the language on a day to day basis.

ZML

What is even that? Not bothering to Google for it, which shows how irrelevant it is.

Good call, for bad reasons.

tldr: they replaced using protobuf as the type system across language boundaries for FFI with true FFI

Title is as nonsensical as "We replaced Windows with ARM CPUs"

We replaced the periodic table with elements for five times the reaction.

I loved, every clickbait title should come with a tldr just like this one.

if you see an order of magnitude difference and a language involved in the title, it's something I refuse to read (unless it's an obvious choice - interpret vs compilied/jit one)

i can't help but think of the scammy communication around this on X. and the actual need to be deceitful about it.

oh how low the mighty have fallen

In legalese it's true... the tweet was "Just started Tesla Robotaxi drives in Austin with no safety monitor in the car.".

An analogy would be if a husband came home from a job trip in Denver and his wife accused him of cheating, and his response is "I wasn't cheating on you in Denver!", because he cheated on her in Boulder.

"No safety monitor in the car". Somehow the image of Mr. Bean driving his car from an armchair mounted on top of it comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVSLLWXdKV0

Waymo had chase cars as well at the beginning. This isn’t something strange. They are not there to tele-operate the car.

Fallen implies they were ever high. Unfortunately the revelations regarding the "Paint it Black" self-driving demo demonstrate a history of dishonesty, that this isn't new.

This looks incredible, congratulations!

Thanks Steeve!

the upside is absolutely worth it

he’s been working on it for 2 weeks, as he said somewhere else

And he later said that he doesn't intent to maintain it:

> And as what it is, not a nats replacement, certainly dont have the time to maintain that this way

well, bazel is by far the most reliable one so I'm not sure why you're complaining

and it would be terrible for hermeticity and reproducibility, nix tries very hard and gets mediocre results

perhaps, just perhaps, why people go through the trouble not because they are idiots but for actual engineering reasons
