Why is Zig here?


Shit, should have been Zed. The editor.


It would have been funny to suggest rewriting Zig in Rust. :)


Rewrite Rust in Zig.


Honestly either should be more than possible to do, although not sure how beneficial. It would certainly be very funny if Zig compiler would be implemented in Rust and, simultaneously, Rust compiler would be written in Zig


zig compiler does lots of things for speed that would push it well into unsafe rust, or unchecked rust (like using u32 index tags in arrays instead of pointers)


Even better! It would be a great opportunity for the author(s) to rewrite it in idiomatic Rust!


Or idiomatic COBOL!


trades speed for safety. i like it!


Wow this looks fun and useful.

Have a couple of questions though.

Is this using AI? How accurate are the translation? How do you add new languages?


Thank you! It's just using google's translate and text to speech APIs! It can support any language google supports, I just need to add some strings to the code!


If every job requires experience then every graduate will always be jobless.

There are jobs for freshers which doesn't require experience but basic knowledge and skills which you can learn on your own. Or you can do an internship to get the experience.




This may sound wrong, but shouldn't Parents monitor their kids Phone usage in the first place?

They want privacy and they also don't want encryption?

I will report if I am aware of the problem, but what would a child know, they wouldn't even know if they are abused, they are innocent. Parents should be responsible for their child's Phone usage. They allow their child to use social media which is full of predators, yet they don't monitor their social media account? Should parents be mindful of a their innocent child's privacy instead of security?



Not sure that's needed. The Reg isn't going anywhere for now.

From the add-ons I use in my desktop which I cannot install in android firefox from addons.mozilla.org are:

1. OneTab 2. Unhook 3. Unclutter 4. Violentmonkey

Tampermonkey shows in Add-on manager list in android, but not in addons.mozilla.org!


that OneTab looks nice. will definitely help with my current usage pattern. thanks.
