Examples target Zig 0.14.

Been some significant changes since then, not least to printing and formatting (see writergate).

lots of people into zig this morning apparently!

I just looked this up yesterday so sharing some more up-to-date resources for those interested in Zig:

- Learning Zig by Karl Seguin: https://www.openmymind.net/learning_zig/

- https://zig.guide/

- Free project-based online book Introduction to Zig by Pedro Park: https://pedropark99.github.io/zig-book.

- Ziglings, almost working programs you need to fix: https://codeberg.org/ziglings/exercises

for those new, start with why: https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp

Is this much different than ziglings?

I like Zig but stopped learning it when I realized that all project based on it requires a specific version of the compiler to build.

Very brief. I'm not sure what this adds over reading the language documentation (which itself is not great). As it's entirely organized by language features it doesn't really talk about any larger scale design decisions, which is where I think language proficiency is really found.

Looking for a resource (MCP, CLI, Skill, ...) that would improve Zig support in LLMs.

Currently, doing something with Zig as a target language would spend many more tokens and produce subpar results.

I'm missing the concurrency model.

Is Zig just a trend, or will it become a solidly established language? After all, learning something is an investment of time. With Zig, it doesn't seem to have the same kind of industry pressure as Rust. There's talk in open source circles about AI-related issues, and on Hacker News people say good things about Zig. The allocator concept looks great. But there's also a possibility that it won't become mainstream, like the D language. I personally like D and think its compiler is beautiful, but being linguistically good is different from being industrially adopted. So should I learn Zig, or wait a bit longer?

For now, I have a basic grasp of C#, a little Python, a little C++, and a little TypeScript. I also know Java to some extent, but honestly, what I mostly build is CRUD app assembly. To go deeper, I think I need to dig into a systems language. But I'm not sure whether to invest in Zig or Rust.
