Same here, it's one of the few works of fiction that gave me repeated bouts of goose-bump riddled shocks. I think it's also an amazing tool to teach people about the absurd scale of the universe we inhabit, and just how unfathomably small the scale of our everyday lives is in comparison.
Plus it presented interesting mysteries, and the payoffs were huge. For that I can forgive the style of writing you described!
As somebody who's interested in both languages and follow zog development relatively closely I'm interested in these many reasons. Can you give a few example of zig features or other reasons that would be useful for Pijul over Rust?
It's mostly about Rust adding lots of features I am not interested in, and not adding the ones I need for the project. Sanakirja was hard to write in Rust, not a single concept of the language matched what I needed, in the end I had to write tons of macros, and the API is hard to use. Zig would have probably made it more natural from the beginning.
There are other things related to the community/zealots/Mozilla/Rust foundation, but I'm not sure this is the proper place.
Edit: Git zealots are worse than Rust zealots, I attribute this to Git being "harder to learn" (i.e. never really does what people think it does) than Rust.
When did this happen? From what I head and what I see go is starting to get quite popular. Not Java level of course but it shouldn't be impossible to hire go devs now. Especially that it's not the hardest language to learn.
Yeah but then they just won't chage the browser enginr and nothing will change. I don't think your parents would go out of their way to change the browser engine or am I missing something?
I found it relatively recently and because it was frequently mentioned in tech spaces. (From videos to articles). After a while I checked it out and started reading it regularly myself.
I checked the website for the download page and it says
> Sorry, this application is not available on your current operating system.
> Try downloading it from a desktop or laptop.
It would be cool of I could check the available packages from mobile without going to a desktop or potentially spoofing my browser ID.
Thanks for the feedback, I agree, I'll look into improving the conveyor download page to redirect to play store or testflight page when it detects mobile user-agent. In general we support windows, linux, mac, android and iOS (in testflight currently)
