lots of people into zig this morning apparently!
I am really looking into zig now because founder seems like a cool dude.

Re: Zig by Example
#12I like Zig but stopped learning it when I realized that all project based on it requires a specific version of the compiler to build.
I would be interested to learn why that is a problem. As a new Rust learner, I am curious.

It might not be the version you have installed, or the same version as another project you want to glue together into a single application.

#14I'm missing the concurrency model.

The situation will improve once they release a stable 1.0 version.
Until then, use mise, nix, docker, or something similar. (You should be doing this anyway for projects in all languages if you care about them building on anyone's machine other than your own.)

#16Looking 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.
If you worked through this and learnt to use zig, your token usage would be even lower!

Don't be ridiculous. Learning? That's for the dinosaurs. Just throw an llm at the problem!

#18Is this much different than ziglings?
This is essentially just a textbook of zig examples. Ziglings is an interactive exercise

Rust has editions, which can be mixed and matched between different dependencies. AFAIK Zig does not have this.
Re: Zig by Example
#20Examples target Zig 0.14. Been some significant changes since then, not least to printing and formatting (see writergate).
Ah, but are those changes in the training data yet?
