This is why it's good to have automated tooling that can do semantic changes on your language and standard library use. Go has `go fix` even if it was only used in pre-1.0 days AFAIK. It is never lost because this type of tooling can be used as the foundation for linters, refactoring tools, etc. Is there such a solution in Zig?

zig fmt has some auto-fixes for upgrading source code to new Zig versions, AFAIK it's only for language changes, not stdlib changes though.

Nice, I wonder if adapting it for this change would make sense?

[throwawaymaths]

its a really huge change

[Aissen]

Isn't that an argument for automated fixing?

[throwawaymaths]

huge in complexity. though looking at it i see andrew has made a "polyfill" ish thing to give ppl a way out for a ?(a few)? releases
