@BrodieOnLinux C having lots of issues with memory safety doesn't mean every language is bad that is memory-unsafe. Just stop using stupid pointers for arrays and use slices instead. Use a memory sanitizer by default. Congrats, your famous 70% of memory bugs has dropped to maybe 5-10% and everyone stops talking about it.This is exactly what zig does. Zig is by no means perfect but memory bugs are the least of my problems. Plus, no move-semantics, borrow checker, infective lifetimes; just code.

@BrodieOnLinux A lot of this isn't ignorance but tiredness. 90% of the AI talk is about what *might* be and not what's actually happening and what cool features have been implemented with it because those are mostly embarassingly useless. And there is A LOT of AI talk these days.
