They don't have to do that at all. They could've used mainline Zig, without their vibe coded changes to it.

[giancarlostoro]

They changed Zig because it was inadequate for their efforts, why would I keep using a tool that is inadequate if there's a better tool?

[bendmorris]

They claim to have made the Zig compiler faster, which is disputed. Even if true that wouldn't make it inadequate without their changes.

[coldtea]

Because maybe they're wrong, and what they think is "inadequate for their efforts" is just due to their overengineering stupidity.

Really? What is this reddit? If you are going to resort to name calling at least provide some genuine facts? Show me what in their Zig fork was too much? You assume Zig is “finished” being built? Because thats a bold claim, seems every major Zig change is some very major shift in the language. Zig is where Rust was before it did the borrow checker system.
