No, it's because it is hard. If it is a bad idea, why would I want to do it?

Examples?

I've found enough Firefox-only bugs when doing things through spanish government sites that I started using Chrome for them preemptively.

I've been confused by the statement that "Zig can compile C Code" for quite some time and reading a couple of blog posts hasn't made it much clearer.

Does the Zig Project include a full blown C Compiler? Is it the Zig Compiler with some sort of adaptation to compile C code? Or does it use something like Clang behind the curtains? (In this case it would be responsible for some other parts of the compilation process)

Zig embeds clang to compile C code. This doesn't add a new dependency since Zig already depends on LLVM. If there is a future where the self-hosted Zig backend is good enough to not depend on LLVM anymore, there might be a reason to use a C compiler written in Zig (possibly https://github.com/Vexu/arocc)

For Morrowind it didn't just upgrade the rendering, it completely changed the aesthetic of the scene. Is that on purpose? At that point you can't call the results better, only different.

It is so hard to read. Tried reading the book too and couldnt get past chapter 2 because of this „conversational“ style that jumps all over the place with irrelevant nonsense. Ian, hire an editor, please :(

Yeah... he says you can learn the language in an afternoon, but his book is so long-winded... I just want a short intro so that I can start writing programs.
