> I do understand the reasoning (they don't want people committing poor quality code), but this implementation just seems completely backwards to me. It breaks the natural order. It's like saying we won't let you ctrl+s until your tests pass to make sure you don't commit broken code. Stop nannying me and let me get my work done!

Could it be that this problem is due to Zig's stance on "no warnings"? It's admirable to try and partition things into strict "correct" and "incorrect" categories. But with only static information it seems like there's always things that seem a little grey.
