I did an impromptu training session with Elon Musk for a few hours yesterday. I'm extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic. It's really inspiring to see Elon and Mark doing martial arts, but I think the world is served far better if they train martial arts but not fight in the cage. That said, as Elon says, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely... I'm there for them, no matter what.

Zig is moving off of LLVM

This is a very big undertaking. Using LLVM as a codegen backend (the piece that actually generates the binary for a specific target) has become the norm for every new compiled language. And for good reasons, LLVM offers a rich set of industry leading optimization for speed and size far beyond any other build tool and allows the programming language to easily interop with C/C++ code.

Rust uses LLVM as its codegen backend and moving off of it has been a stated problem for a long time, there's still work being done on this area.

The Zig folks have once again proven that they are one of the smartest and the most capable people in the programming language community. Although it seems like from reading the comments the Zig community heavily relies on the C/C++ interop feature so the proposal might get dropped.
