This writing really does not reflect well on Zig. If you have technical issues with Github, fine: cite them. But leave ad hominems like "losers" and "monkeys" out of it.

Isn't that the unfortunate status quo? At least hard requirement for JS, that is.

Google's homepage started requiring this recently. Linux kernel's git, openwrt, esp32.com, and many many others now require it too, via dreaded "Making sure you're not a bot" thing:

If anything, github is (thankfully) behind the curve here - at least some basics do work without JS.

kees99 commented on Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand   arstechnica.com/ai/2025/1... · Posted by u/cheshire_cat

What happens when this bubble pops? I am trying to avoid any time or financial investment in AI as I look around the corner. I am also looking back at the last big bubble. I got my first house for $129k at 2800sqft when the housing bubble popped. There were just so many empty houses available.

So now I am wondering what will be available once the AI investment implodes. I am thinking about computer hardware, available cloud infrastructure employees for hire on the cheap, and more.

I am also looking at the consequences for the incumbents reliant on both AI and cloud that either cannot pay their bills or who fail because their service providers no longer exist. I can’t help but see lots of opportunity on the horizon.

"we have been open-source long before it was fashionable"

An abridged timeline:

1960s to 1980s: hobbyist and academic/research computing create thriving public domain software ecosystems (literally the birth of FOSS)

1983: The GNU Project begins

1989: The World Wide Web is created

1991: Linus Torvalds posts the first Linux kernel to USENET

1992: 386BSD is released; Slackware is created

1993: NetBSD is forked; Debian is created

1994: FreeBSD 2 is released

1995: Red Hat is created

[a decade of FOSS and the internet changing computing and research forever]

2005: A collection of low-cost microcontroller education tools, benefiting from half a century of FOSS, is formalized into something called "Arduino"

Also, didn't early Arduino heavily borrow from another open-source project, "Processing"?

Processing was/is graphics-centered, so that's where Arduino's term "sketch" come from, if you ever wondered.
