I'm relieved this mailing list focuses on Plan 9, not 9front, since I don't use
9front. I submitted two patches today—no armchair engineers around here.
Besides ranting, move beyond it. Let it rest.

I believe you're misinformed about bootstrapping Zig. The link to the
Zig README in my previous email is to the section that describes how to
bootstrap Zig *using only a C compiler*. For more details, refer to my
previous email.
The most annoying thing about Zig, potentially, is the "package m

Thank you. This looks promising, however two things have changed since the time
that was written.
1. std.Build has been renamed to std.build.Builder, which reflects Zig's
ongoing development and refac

I found that link after a single search for 'v programming language
controversy' using duck duck go. It was linked from a hacker news post.
There are other resources. The controversy has made the rounds on numerous
tech news sites an
I agree with Willow. Zig would make an excellent addition to Plan 9. If it were
available, I'd certainly adopt it. I suspect it would also draw in a new crowd,
bringing fresh perspectives to the community.

I must admit that my rather non-committal email on V is largely down to
my low appetite for years-old programming language drama. Wikipedia is
also far from comprehensive.
Nothing is quite there yet as a "new language" for Plan 9. Rust is *too*
abstract and is quite baroque (see: custom alloca
Now I see. Thank you.

try this and it should make sense:
x/.+\n.*/ x/\n/ d
with .* to the left of the \n you get the following:
match foo\nbar and delete the \n
match \nbaz and delete the \n
match \nqux and delete the \n
match \nquux and delete the \n
match \n and delete it

Consider the following sample text:
foo
bar
baz
qux
quux
The purpose is to merge each pair of words, so that the text becomes:
foobar
bazqux
quux
The following command works fine:
x/.+\n.+/ x/\n/ d
But the following one does not:
x/.*\n.*/ x/\n/ d
It results in all \n being deleted.

I am confused by the divisive views on V. On one hand people who seem to know
their onions speak well of it. @Willow provides helpful reasons why the project
might have started inauspiciously, whereas by contrast @Noam I feel you cast
vague aspersions without evidence. Perhaps for a fledgeling l
They've made ridiculous, obviously-false claims. You can look it up
fairly easily if you want, I recall articles titled "V is for Vaporware"
and the like from a few years back.

since, IIRC, 2018.
They have still not fixed th
