There should be an official Zig t-shirt with this line of code printed on it

                  1 => {
                      panic_stage = 2;
          
                      // A panic happened while trying to print a previous panic message,
                      // we're still holding the mutex but that's fine as we're going to
                      // call abort()
                      const stderr = io.getStdErr().writer();
                      stderr.print("Panicked during a panic. Aborting.\n", .{}) catch posix.abort();
                  },
                  else => {
                      // Panicked while printing "Panicked during a panic."
                  },
              };
          
              posix.abort();
          }
          
          /// Must be called only after adding 1 to `panicking`. There are three callsites.
          fn waitForOtherThreadToFinishPanicking() void {
              if (panicking.fetchSub(1, .seq_cst) != 1) {
                  // Another thread is panicking, wait for the last one to finish

I’m serious, I will pay good money for this.

That’s too rich - thanks for sharing that.

I want a t-shirt that says: I like bubble-sort, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone?

Panic Inception

Haha I already see it:

“Zig is so safe it handles panic attacks!”

Actually, that comment is a pretty good definition of what a real panic attack is: it’s when you feel you need to panic while you panic.

TOO REAL. That is EXACTLY what it feels like. “I have reached the limit of recursively panicking about how intensely I am panicking and now I am going to shutdown”
