On: Packed structs in Zig make bit/flag sets trivial

It's Go pretending it's a kind of language it isn't, and making the user do the teapot dance instead of cooperating.

People keep telling me this koolaid is delicious but I just don't see it.

It seems you ran out of actual arguments, sorry to hear that.

You can't argue with someone who doesn't understand logic, which is literally true here. I have run out of jokes at Go's expense.

I think I made my point known. Converting int to boolean is not a settled task, as different people might not agree on what the correct way is to do that. False could be zero, or negative one, or any negative number, or even one. So its better not to have the compiler make that decision, and just have the code be explicit about what its trying to do.
