Zig isn't 1.0 yet though, which means there may still be major changes. If they don't mind rewriting everything a few times in worst case scenario
FryBoyter@reddit
The question is, will it ever be? In terms of the version number. Because I have the feeling that many projects nowadays deliberately avoid releasing version 1.0 because too many users expect too much from this version. This leads, for example, to some projects continuing with version 0.100 after version 0.99. Or they use a different type of versioning, such as https://calver.org.

I don't get why some people think that versioning follows decimal.
Are you aware that major.minor.hotfix versioning isn't a number system, yes?
That said, I agree with the sentiment, but I also find wise to postpone the first major version because the lower risk of future breaking changes is worth it imo.

For a good product, one needs at least iterations 0, 1 and 2.

You would find out if you read the article.

I read the article. There’s still no justification
flavius-as@reddit
You didn't. Read again. If you struggle, copy and paste the article in AI and ask it.

Yes that is what they were saying about you...

It's like useless remake of films. Devs ran out of what to do and they redo shit. It's fortunate to get paid by those rewrite projects though.

I doubt that they do that during work hours. Would surprise me

There's really no helping a certain category of language evangelists.
It's like expecting religious evangelicals to peacefully integrate as productive members of society. They're just going to spend their days needlessly knocking on workers' doors to interrupt their dinner and explain "actually you're living in sin neighbor!"
Why on earth would you waste what precious little time you have on earth reinventing Yet Another Wheel...
Careless-Rule-6052@reddit
This is a bad analogy because most “religious evangelicals” do integrate as productive members of society. I assume you are thinking of people like Mormons who go door to door, but they just do that for a couple years and then get regular jobs.

Surprisingly, it's not Rust.
This is supposed to be a more easily hackable/extensible SSH implementation for experimentation, rather than being a direct competitor to OpenSSH and Dropbear.
