what is this, 2009? If your language cares about it, Your code editor should automatically convert CRs and tabs as you type.

[BubRoss → dnautics]

Every language in existence is able to deal with default windows files. Zig -intentionally- breaks on carriage returns and tabs. It went out of its way to not work.

[dnautics → BubRoss]

I think that's a wise choice. The zig ecosystem doesn't need people that get hung up on that.

Hung up on what? Working? Please explain why this problem that would take 30 minutes to correct makes sense to keep around?
