    Project mention: Zig paradigm shift – initial Writergate | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-03

    Actually, nobody.

    Here is the commit where Reader/Writer was introduced: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/5e212db29cf9e2c06aba36...

    This is a few months after `git init`. You can see I was really just working on the parser, with a toy example to get things started.

    Over time, I merged contributions that made minor changes and shuffled things around, and these APIs evolved to kind of work okay. But nobody really considered "the Zig IO stack" as a whole and put in design effort. That is happening for the first time right now.
