BTW: if anyone wants to jump into Zig, for me the most efficient way was reading the stdlib and also using github codesearch - just type a function name with suffix lang:zig and you get a real-world usage.
For those interested, we're hosting a Zig release party tomorrow (November 1st) on Twitch:<p><a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/Zig/comments/ygiir2/release_party_and_zig_rush_november_1st/" rel="nofollow">https://old.reddit.com/r/Zig/comments/ygiir2/release_party_a...</a>
The most important note of this release is that Zig is now self-hosted; it is capable of compiling itself.<p>I've been learning Zig as a side project for a couple months now. It's been kind of hard since I don't have a lot of experience with low-level coding and Zig is a bit less user-friendly than Swift, but the folks in the IRC channel (and yes, its primary real-time chat community is an IRC channel, not some Slack/Discord nonsense) have always been super friendly with this newbie, right up to the project lead himself. I really suggest you give Zig a look if you want to have some fun learning a new language.
