A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
To me, Halo2 had the steepest learning curve by far. Not just because of having to understand how PLONKish arithmetization works to build the circuits, but mostly because I found Halo2's API quite complex and its documentation hard to find. There are also few resources for learning Halo2: the best I found were the 0xparc course which provides a few really valuable code samples, as well as the examples in the main repo. You may also want to check out awesome-halo2 for updated resources.

Cake Wallet to add ZCash support along with Monero
Not all components of the project are open source. Cake's response omit's a key detail. Have a look at the license for Halo

A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
Other languages and frameworks I still have to try out are Zokrates, Cairo, SnarkyJS, Gnark, and Leo. I hope to update this post as I go through them!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing halo2 and ZoKrates you can also consider the following projects:
circomlib - Library of basic circuits for circom
noir - Noir is a domain specific language for zero knowledge proofs
cairo-lang
leo - 🦁 The Leo Programming Language. A Programming Language for Formally Verified, Zero-Knowledge Applications
tornado-core - Tornado cash. Non-custodial private transactions on Ethereum.
