Anthropic just needs to buy Zig! Problem solved.

Perfect A/B experiment opportunity. Fork Zig, call the fork Zag.

Lock the syntax/api together for a couple of years. Allow AI code in Zag.

Review after a few years, see which is better.

Interesting experiment, would it actually function if Zag was syntax/api locked to Zig? I guess Zag could still have api extensions.
Take off every Zig
Wow. That xkcd was written in 2007, and part of the dialog is "didn't that [meme] die like five years ago?" Which means All Your Base, as a meme, was already getting somewhat stale by around 2002. It's hard to believe it's been that long.
You know what you doing!
...and rewrite it in rs.
