Zig's worth it though. I don't care for libraries that aren't maintained anyway. If they don't maintain it, it's just bad anyway. Why do you always nag about Zig. Stop shilling your C3 here.

This kind of thought is popular in the web world where browsers get an update every 3 days and you don't control the hosting services, so constant maintenance is unavoidable.

But in the world of desktop development it's possible for a library to be "done", having a 100% stable codebase going forward and requiring no maintenance. And it's not bad, it's actually good.

Requiring every dependency to be constantly maintained is a massive drain on productivity.
