BTW a quick question...

Isn't it a case of "SVN trying to be CVS done right", as Linus Torvalds famously explained during his talk about Git at Google: SVN was doomed from the start because it's not possible to do CVS right.

Is this Typescript Zig any good? (don't know anything about it) Is it even worth porting to another language?

And why not an entirely new project? Ain't it an admission of failure of LLMs at writing new code? (porting ain't the same thing at all as writing a new project)

No dig at Zig: I just want to know if it's not yet another turd of the extremely turdy JS ecosystem.
