GitHub vs. Zig: A Turning Point for Open Source?
The Zig Software Foundation has left GitHub, citing declining engineering quality as its main concern. This dramatic shift follows a frustrating bug that plagued the platform, disrupting continuous integration (CI) processes.
Key Highlights:
- Background: It all began with a thread about the “safe_sleep.sh” script that endlessly consumed CPU resources.
- Leadership Concerns: Andrew Kelly, Zig’s lead developer, criticized GitHub for neglecting critical bugs in their CI system.
- Community Reaction: The failure to address longstanding issues has resonated with other developers, leading to project migrations from GitHub to alternatives like Codeberg.
- Growth of Alternatives: Codeberg’s membership has surged, highlighting a shift towards community-driven platforms.
