  😎 A curated list of example-based learning resources.

I love these sorts of resources! I just created an "awesome list" [1] to keep track of resources specifically centered around learning by example. I've only got a few so far, several of them being from this thread. Contributions welcome!

• zig

  816 30,295 10.0 Zig

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

  

This a simplified example to say that each path that depends on a comptime condition, such as the target OS, for example, feels intuitively consistent but in Zig types can (and do) mutate depending on those conditions and if the compiler were to eagerly check dead branches it would find plenty of semantical errors. In the stdlib you can see how `os` corresponds to a different struct definition depending on the target: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/os.zig#L5...

  Zig built against xtensa fork of LLVM for targetting ESP32

Zig is still "not production ready," embedded is still rough, and you might have to contribute to Ziglang itself to get any particular architecture working appropriately. That said, yes people are using Zig a little for embedded stuff:

Xtensa is less supported. M0 might also have some issues: https://github.com/Schroedingers-Hat/xtensa-zig

I've been meaning to try it out for embedded myself; I'll let you know how it goes.
