Returning to Zig https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/return-to-zig/
Returning to Zig — Anna Liberty
Zig is rising in popularity. It hasn't yet seized the space occupied by even Rust or Go, much less C, but it has been adopted by a few major projects and countless smaller ones. As such, it's becoming an important language for the future. having been interested in Zig for several years, I decided to check back in on the language and see how I feel about it today.

Cristiano@csalmeida.com · 2mo agoSome of these images were displayed in grids and I was still able to recreate that layout with the `=html` block in markdown, awesome! The only downside is that it needs to go on `zine.ziggy` for now to be able to use these images, but not that bad of a trade off.
Sometimes I run out of steam, sometimes I go down the wrong path, and some other times I deliberately take detours, but nobody can trick me into mistaking lesser stars for my true destination. kristoff.it/blog/north-s...

Someone opened a PR on my Cython project. Closed it because the cloud environment didn't have gcc. That sent me down a rabbit hole: zig as a Python dependency, flag filtering, and compiler flags I never wanted to know about.
