    I was looking for something that allows easy access to direct memory, with a syntax thats a little easier to explain than C. Frankly, zig was not actually a real viable option base…

    I don't come from TS, but this seems like a good intro to zig from that sort of perspective. There's a whole lot of paradigms to relearn when you switch to something like Zig and t…
