       | Awesome, thank you for your work, all of you. I am not easily
       | impressed but I think Zig is THE next big thing.

       | Is there an overview of a real world small project using zig vs
       | rust vs cpp20?

       | The most important note of this release is that Zig is now self-
       | hosted; it is capable of compiling itself.

       | 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.

         | I'm in the same boat, I've used Zig to go through AoC 2021,
         | liked it. I know some C, as in worked through K&R years ago,
         | but I possess little practical experience.
         | 
         | Any recommendations for resources/books to learn knowledge and
         | programming patterns applicable to Zig (memory management best
         | practices, low level programming, et cetera)

       | 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.
