The blog author has a history of posting clickbait'ish criticism about Zig.

That's gross misrepresentation. He wrote _lots_ of helpful educational articles on zig that painted it in a good light. I would know because I learned a great deal from his posts when I started with zig. Recently he posted a grand total of 2 articles expressing his confusion/skepticism of new zig features, that's it.

Right, that huge series he wrote as an introduction to Zig and all the articles about specific Zig features were super mean and clickbaity...
