The very same day I sat at home writing this devlog like a coward, less than five miles away, armed forces who are in my city against the will of our elected officials shot tear gas, unprovoked, at peaceful protestors, including my wife.

This isn't some hypothetical political agenda I'm using my platform to push. There's a nonzero chance I go out there next weekend to peacefully protest, and get shot like Alex Pretti.

Needless to say, if I get shot by ICE, it's not good for the Zig project. And they've brought the battle to my doorstep, almost literally.

Abolish ICE.

I too am sick of internal compiler errors

I too am sick of internal combustion engines, a product of the last century.

I too am sick of intrusion countermeasures electronics. Think of all the poor netrunners out there.

I don’t mind someone doing politics stuffs. Heck I am in for privacy and no enterprise model of software. Big Stallman fan here.

But I would really suggest keeping politics out of Zig stuffs.

I don’t even know what ICE is. Just read about it.

This is a show of power.

Like: “I am an American and since I am building the software, I am going to push MY politics into your throat”.

That means, to show similar power, I need to build a software as influential as Zig so that I can push my agendas of my country down your throats.

Heck let me do just that.

Keep politics to politics forums, keep code to code.
