This is a little disingenuous. As far as I know, v3 isn't going anywhere. There's what... weeks until May 2025, which would be four years?

4 years in JavaScript land is actually pretty long. Zod has a pretty good maintenance record. I don't see how a statement like yours can be made without snark. Calling it a "throw-away" library is pretty brash.

This looks like a good update that sticks to the formula.

For non-JS developers to get a sense of how long this is, companies have probably migrated from React to Vue to Svelte to Solid and then back to React in this time.

Did they get any useful work done in that time, or just learn new frameworks? That sounds like a form of hell.
