People are seriously naive about corporate incentives. You think he'll go "Yeah, it being in Zig has put a wrench in our AI usage and that's not a good look now that we're with Anthropic"? No, he'll confirm everyone's biases instead - and it's working as well as expected on this crowd.

I mentioned a similar sentiment 4 days ago in the original discussion about this project, and HN for some reason did not like that I noted Rust is used in production longer and way more than Zig is, including Firefox, CloudFlare's own reverse proxy, Discord, and many other massive effort projects that affect millions if not billions of people.
