be careful that no attacker can push updates

Going to try a new type of project. I've been doing some reading on how self-updates work in long-running processes, and want to try that with Zig. i.e. receive the byte code for a function over the network and live patch yourself.

Really exciting to be using Zig on my new projects. It's still hasn't had an official 1.0 release which makes me a *little* nervous, but it seems like such a great language so far

you have to confident about learning zig before the stable release. zig it's very simple language and have been used broadly. e.g. bun (js runtime), ghostty (terminal emu.).

Same with v3.2.1 and v3.2.14 and v3.3.0 so hopefully there's a CHANGELOG
💀 Fakenane
Yeah, I guess 3.2.1->3.2.14 tells me that my application that uses this interface should continue to work. 3.2.14->3.3.0 tells me that there's major new features, and most likely my application still should continue to work. 4.0.0 would tell me that my application will no longer work. As opposed to 2025.07.22 having major changes from 2025.07.23

Hear hear! I just updated chronver.org and its module. This job market is tough so my search became passive.
💀 Fakenane
That's an interesting trade off: deciding whether to be able to compare release dates versus feature drift in version numbers. I guess release dates is more concrete, but it's hard to tell if version 2025.07.22 is that different from 2025.07.15

"White Rural Rage" which is both an infuriating and greatly insightful book. It makes me so mad with the current situation, but it helps me grapple it with really good analysis.
