Thank you, Mitchell Hashimoto. I have always wondered why folks who made their fortunes of technology do not give back consistently. You are part of the few folks such as Jan Koum, Gabriel Weinberg and I&#x27;m sure there others who I have failed to mentioned. Thank you.

This is also good news for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bun.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bun.sh</a> which is written in Zig.

That’s great to see, I’ve been using zig on and off for the past 3 years, I really like the language so I’m happy to see it gaining even more traction

This is great news. Zig is very promising. I got huge joy working with it. Good it got the recognition.

I read <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ziglang.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;why_zig_rust_d_cpp&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ziglang.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;why_zig_rust_d_cpp&#x2F;</a> but I’m still not clear on the endgame for this language. Is the plan to kill both Rust and Go?
