> OOP has been out of favor for a while now

I love these lines. Who writes this stuff? I'll tell you: The same people on HN who write "In Europe, X is true." (... when Europe is 50 countries!).

    > Zig is a language for data-oriented design.

But not OOP, right? Or, OOP couldn't do the same thing?

One thing that I have found over umpteen years of reading posts online: Americans just love superlatives. They love the grand, sweeping gesture. Read their newspapers; you see it every day. A smidge more minimalism would make their writing so much more convincing.

I will take some downvotes for this ad hominem attack: Why does this guy have 387 connections on LinkedIn? That is clicking the "accept" button 387 times. Think about that.
