andrew,

a language with first class cross-compilation alone is enough for me to respect you as a language designer and zig have so many features like this. i am a huge fan.

i have only one favourite feature in c++ and it is templates/ctfe. without the function/operator-overloading templates are incomplete, i would then use c instead. i am still using c++ with all its failures, with all its complexity, with all its uglyness|ineleganceonly because c++ got one thing right. you can at least somehow modify the language.

edit: i have to point out that i have never worked in a big team (more than 10) and you can (probably should) safely ignore my ideas/opinions.
