The people making the video are already making the information public, you are just making it more convenient. This strikes me as similar to downloading public court documents from a government site to make them available outside of their for-profit service.

When was this? I've only seen this "anti-rust" vibe in the past few weeks, guess triggered by the Bun rewrite. Zig people usually will tell you to use the right tool for the job over shilling the language or that you don't need to use it yet (if you want a stable language/documentation) the language will be there if you want to check it in a few years.

5 years.

The language itself will probably stabilize in maybe 3 years. The last things they'll do is work on the std lib, documentation, spec. That will take time but the language will be ready before then.

Regarding runtime overhead, I'd assume you would still need an io implementation, it is just showing it to you explicitly instead of it being hidden behind the std lib.

For simple projects where you don't want to pass it around in function parameters, you can create a global object with one implementation and use it from everywhere.

React Native is Javascript on top of the native toolkit of the platform. No HTML or CSS here.

There's no scrollbar but scrollback works with alt+page_up or scrolling with the mouse wheel or touchpad. They do mention they'll implement scrollback search and scrollbars in 1.3.
