alt Hacker News> Just search "segfault" on the Zig issue tracker and you'll see why people are starting to be skeptical of the future utility of such a language in the face of something like Rust.
Zig has 110 open "segfault" issues [1] versus Rust's 175 open "segfault" issues [2]. So, by your logic, Rust is also bad.
edit: I was just trying to point out that the parent's "just search segfault" argument is lazy. Also, Zig is still in beta.

Yeah, well, my not-yet-written language has zero segfault issues raised, so it’s clearly superior to both Zig and Rust. I really need to get around to writing it because obviously it’s a much better design.
It's a bad metric, but also Zig didn't migrate all of their issues from GitHub. Run the same count on GitHub and you'll see the full picture
Without base rate you're comparing #X in a city vs #Y in a continent and drawing conclusions from that.
It's not even wrong.
You're not seriously out here posting raw numbers without considering the base rate are you
