I think the most relevant thing is that building a simple website can (and should) take milliseconds, not minutes, and that -- quoting from the post:

50 seconds should actually not be considered fine.

As you've just demonstrated, that point can be made without even mentioning Zig, let alone copy/pasting some compile time stuff with no other comment or context. Which is why I thought (well, hoped) there might be something more to it than just a dunk attempt.

Now we get all of this off-topic discussion about Zig. Which I guess is good for you Zig folk... But it's pretty off-putting for me.

whoisyc's comment is extremely on point. As the VP of community, I would really encourage thinking about what they said.
