Roadmap to master zig
Master syntax - language possibilities, so that you can read code. Ziglings (or github) does great job teaching it!

Problems of C, and how Zig addresses them
I am interested to learn, how Traits in Rust and Interfaces in Go behave differently from this concept.

What's the reasoning behind the iguana mascot, and why is Zig specifically named so?
Is Zero the space lizard (dinosaur?) with the hammer in the picture in Ziglings' readme? (I like this guy)

List of wanted examples?
Yesterday someone introduced me to ziglings, do you mean that? https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings/tree/main/exercises

Curious noob peeks memory and wants to understand it 😅
Hi! I am learning zig through the Ziglings repo. I was messing around exercise 54 where it shows how you can create a pointer to many items instead of a slice:

A 10x Faster TypeScript
In my experience it is pretty difficult to make WASM faster than JS unless your JS is really crappy and inefficient to begin with. LLVM-based WASM is your best bet to surpass vanilla JS, but even then it's not a guarantee.
Go's WASM tooling isn't as good since it doesn't use LLVM and I've found it very difficult to even get parity with vanilla JS performance. There is a way to use a subset of go with llvm for faster wasm ([tinygo](https://tinygo.org/)).
I'm hoping that Microsoft might use some of their wasm chops to improve GO's native wasm compiler. Their .NET wasm compiler is pretty darn good, especially if you enable AOT.

Write code on esp32 on different languages (currently AssemblyScript and TinyGo supported)
Built a platform flibbert.com where you can run code on ESP32 microcontrollers in AssemblyScript and TinyGo. It’s great for trying things out or learning without the usual setup hassle. Would love for people to try it and share feedback! (The project is on early stage, tested only on esp32-cam)

Wasm3 + TinyGo on PSP
So, I chose another way. In other words, the approach is to convert it into WASM using TinyGo.

A "Tiny" APISIX Plugin
Reading through the documentation, you will understand why this plugin is called "tiny," i.e., the SDK uses the TinyGo compiler instead of the official Go compiler. You can read more about why this is the case on the SDK\'s overview page, but the TLDR version is that the Go compiler can only produce Wasm binaries that run in the browser.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ziglings and TinyGo you can also consider the following projects:
