Zig is on another level!

this + ghostty make me want to build something with it

something i couldn't reconcile with zig and then coped into going deeper into rust:

1. zig is pretty old but out core llvm tooling and old c++, not many useful native projects/libs unlike rust
2. the creator has this weird obsession with ejecting from c++/llvm long-term. i just cannot trust
3. i couldn't find any major tech working with it. i maybe outdated. but in this age, you always need a corpo backing your foundation eg googs w/ psf, mozilla w/ rust (and now msft, amzn) ... zig didn't seem to have that

I’ve been wanting to learn a statically typed language after a career in python and js; zig is attractive to me because the syntax doesn’t give me a seizure like rust
