Ok, is it just me or is Andrew Kelley a one-person, prodigy coding machine? I’ve been following Zig’s development for a few years now and the technical wizardry he’s gone through to develop a powerful, innovative language that is self hosted, challenges all the new systems languages out there, compiles C and supports magical cross compilation is just mind blowing to me.
Thanks Andrew for pushing the boundaries and rethinking what can be possible with modern tooling.
I highly recommend people to watch his live streams. Excellent stuff.
I would like to thank (and blame :p) you for the rabbit hole. I just had some ride between zig, foss funding, musl, and such. Andrew is truly doing some awesome work.
When I lived in New York, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity of hacking together pretty often. Seeing his intensity and dedication had a huge impact on me. Thanks Andy!
I once helped an engineer to bring up a custom board running an AMD 286 ... it had a strip of LED's which our boot loader would trigger at various points while it initialized the various bits.
No LED meant it was time to bring out the oscilloscope.
