* (a) Is this better than std.json?
- I don't know, I just know that it parses JSON and it works, it's simple, the code is readable and straightforward, it is 3 simple files that do simple things, nothing else
- This parser is based off of a [string pool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning) written by Andrew Kelley, so it must be good, [watch a video](https://www.hytradboi.com/2025/05c72e39-c07e-41bc-ac40-85e8308f2917-programming-without-pointers)
- Probably no, but less featureful software (or less worse) is usually better than over-engineered mess

The Zig Discord server is plagued with modern scum, of course, modern scum will refute all of my claims or label them as "dumb" or "you're using it wrong!", has any of these individuals not considered that Zig is over complicated? There is a reason why Andrew Kelley himself detached from the communities [and has spoken in multiple instances](https://andrewkelley.me/post/goodbye-twitter-reddit.html) about the "shitification" of software communities, it's like turning a good community of like-minded programmers into a soydev shill. One good thing that he did was shutting down the r/zig subreddit.

On different note, I defend simplicity and minimalism, so I am not saying that *every* Zig developer who thinks differently is scum, I just say that if you cannot think beyond your viewpoint you will reach nowhere. Lastly, if your software is not straightforward and simple to use, then why criticising someone for now knowing how to use it? The only reasonable way to make software complicated is as long as user friendliness is not a tradeoff for performance or minimalism.
