I'll tell you my experience with Zig. I don't have any. I saw maybe Primagen talking about it and I see your post here. I watched 10 minutes of your vimeo video. I see it has 30k+ stars on github. So now I have to try to understand it in a nutshell. First like any language, I go to indeed.com and put in "Zig" to see if there are any jobs listed which use it. I don't see any. Then I click to https://ziglang.org/ and i…
