I really wish I could like zig more, I started using it heavily around 0.11, but I feel like as more features get implemented there is more that I like and more that I hate.

They've recently fallen into the trap of the wrong whitespace will now error compilation, which has effected me directly.

All the none blocking IO was stuck behind async, which when I was trying to use it it literally didn't exist (this might have changed in 0.15 from the videos I've seen, but all my code fails to compile now do to the former issue with whitespace).

I might come back at Zig 1.0 as long as some of the stupid decisions can be reverted or worked around in some way I find acceptable, otherwise I might just fork it myself to fix it so I can still have some fun with the language.
