Releasing a v1 would be misleading anyway, even if the language itself is ready for it (it isn’t)… because they use zig in their standard library 😉

There is nothing neat about anything xdg.

I’m glad you figured it out.

I don’t know what is it with new rustaceans and binary size, but many of them seem to be incessant on wasting time uselessly optimizing it, usually without actually understanding what they’re doing, without gaining any relevant benefit, and possibly even causing relevant harm (e.g. degrading run-time performance for no good reason).

The term open-standard does not cut it. People should start using “publicly available and sharable” instead (maybe there is a better name for it).

ISO standards for example are technically “open”. But how relevant is that to a curious individual developer when anything you need to implement would require access to multiple “open” standards, each coming with a (monetary) price, with some extra shenanigans ^[archived] on top.

IETF standards however are actually truly open, as in publicly available and sharable.
