The intent of what's being done is legal harassment.

I'm on Codeberg because it cannot get bought out and enshittified (like GutHub, or GitLab).
I'm at a point where I reconsider my contribution if the project uses GitHub.
Only if you like "eventual consistency", in the sense of "eventually, your data is consistently gone".
The last time I looked at this the whole language was a scam collecting a shit-load of donations from naive, low-knowledge programmers.
I decided to not look at it again based on that.
To be honest, this is an interesting article from a language comparison perspective, but this really weird breathless fawning over syntactic decisions (that may, at best, be slightly better than Rust) is insufferable.
If one added all the weird stuff Zig (or "Tig" as I call it due to the endless shilling of that one database company that seems to be the sole user of the language), it simply evens out:
Neither Rust nor Zig are particularly "beautiful" or in the top spots when it comes to good, clean, minimal syntax design.
It's just ... weird?
Thinking Zig has "lovely syntax" compared to Rust, feels like someone saying that Go has "great semicolon inference" based on only knowing JavaScript.
If you are going to annoy people, do it properly.
Which is not very noteworthy, don't you think?
Putting some HTML files on a web server somewhere is not that big of a mystery in 2025 that it might have been in 1995.
Github Pages supports Jekyll as a SSG out of the box.
Any documentation or tutorial – official or otherwise – that simply skips on this is getting people's hopes up just to waste their time.
Ohh, boohoohoo, what are you gong to do, cancel your lib.rs subscription?
I would be deeply uncomfortable to work in an environment where one couldn't ask the author of a change for insights or rationale, because the author let some machine write it and therefore lacks any deeper understanding.
