  • My first [Z]implementation
    1 project | /r/Zig | 3 Feb 2023
    I started my learning of Zig in this very area, system programming, where I did a modest implementation of a Zig object in a hobby OS that I write in C language... I didn't have as many difficulties as I expected. I still haven't started using Zig's build tool.
