Failing to Learn Zig via Advent of Code

• zig

  812 30,295 10.0 Zig

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

  The way the file-as-a-struct syntax, when used with declaring fields, seems kinda funky the first time you encounter it (here's a random example from Zig's stdlib) but if you imagine the whole file's contents wrapped up in a struct {...} it starts to kinda make sense.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Zig-AoC-Template

  2 93 3.6 Zig

  A template for Advent of Code participants using Zig

  I started with near minimal experience with zig, so the first few days were slow going. The https://github.com/SpexGuy/Zig-AoC-Template project was most likely the main reason I started and kept going with zig over another language.

  2 7 3.2 Zig

  Advent of Code 2021 Solutions, in Zig

  Another valuable learning experience was comparing how others solved the same problems. I picked up a lot of zig idioms and clever patterns by looking at https://github.com/SpexGuy/Advent2021

• semver

  720 7,008 2.3

  Semantic Versioning Specification

  

  The official website says no leading zeroes: https://semver.org/

• zig.vim

  6 399 5.0 Vim Script

  Vim configuration for Zig

  

  About the fast zig check, looking around the the zig.vim plugin code, I think it would be zig fmt --ast-check.
