I recognised the book in your signature, and realised that I have seen your videos! Thanks for the video link and for your comments. I think I shall have to look further into Zig, and better appreciate some of the points.

Since I am interested in Rust, I would love to know more about what Zig does better, both with regards to the toolchain and with regards to the language itself. Where can I do that?

Does "compile anywhere" mean "compile on any machine" or "compile for any machine", and would that help against supply-chain attacks?

Since I think Rust seems nice, I am interested in opinions to the contrary. What's yours? In what way is it non-portable?

It needs to be put down like a rabid dog and THEN we can evaluate what our options are after that.

Is there some reason we can't see what our options are before we kill it so we have a superior plan ready to vote on in congress? I keep hearing repeal and replace but until I hear a real plan for "replace" I am really only hearing "repeal".

Working in the health insurance arena I can say that almost all medical insurance carriers use SSN to identify their members. Occationally an employer will want to use something else and either the carrier refuses to support it or it is like we are asking them to murder their children to make it happen.

And you're the man!

This made no sense to me, and it turns out that what the article says is that one might want to formulate a new definition of the ampere. What do the editors do, really?

I told you we would find them!

But, what about on the stage?

The test where you talk to a bot to see how long you can make it look like a conversation between humans. (You lose if it ends before the bot even has had a chance to say anything.)

cpu6502, do you remember if you were in Luxembourg in the eighties when this happened?
