Ziglings [0] is a series of small problems where you solve bugs in Zig code, and I enjoyed working through them. The readme claims "you are not expected to have any prior experience with... C." When I did ziglings I found the most difficult part was adjusting to the type syntax (which I now love).
I admittedly know C very well, but assuming you already know a language with a C-like syntax (C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, Rust, etc.) most things like functions, control flow, variables, statements map to Zig with only small syntactic differences.
One thing that may be difficult to learn not knowing C is working with strings, since they are just arrays of bytes. Most other languages have a string type, but Zig is much more like C in that strings are null-terminated fixed-sized arrays of bytes.

I meant actual code from their library
So https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/main/Python
Here is a basic structure implemented in C++:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/libcxx/blob/master/include/ve...
I would not recommend anyone ever look through that as a way to learn C++. Heck just something as basic as a struct that stores two member variables is a horror show in C++:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/libcxx/blob/78d6a7767ed57b501...
I'll make no comment on how masterful/well written this is, but these are the most used libraries in the JS world by far margin: https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/master/lib
My advice would be: to learn a new language, start writing some non-trivial projects in it (a few thousand lines of code or so). In some languages (like Python), the standard library is the actually important feature, in other languages (like C), it better to mostly ignore the stdlib. Example: I started learning Zig by writing a Pacman clone (https://github.com/floooh/pacman.zig) and a home computer emulator (https://github.com/floooh/kc85.zig), the Pacman clone doesn't use any Zig stdlib features at all, and the emulator only minimally for parsing command line args and loading data from files.
Zig's stdlib is much more useful than C's, but it's still entirely possible to write useful programs without it and instead focus on learning Zig's language features first.
But on the other extreme, the whole point why I learned Python was its "batteries included" standard library.
