I'm messing with zig for about... roughly 2 months, liking it since the beginning. Great to see another zig channel!

Hey! Awesome to see a Zig channel. Not sure if you're taking requests at this point, but as a zig newbie the build system still is kind of a mystery to me. A video about basic usage/explanation of the build system would be super useful.

Lovin Zig. Found someone's Medium article about pushing to embedded, tiny boards like rp2040. This is such a natural evolution for me.

Not going to use Zig for a long time but I'm glad I found this channel.

I love the slider effect and the concise listing of the changes. Good work!

Great first video, but some constructive criticism as I'd love to see an even better video next time: Copy code snippets into clean text boxes in your presentation. Would be more readable, and have a consistent color scheme, font size, and not be stretched unevenly. The screenshots are also kind of blurry in this one, so zooming in before taking them to up the resolution would be a good step as well (would prefer text boxes, though).

Just saw the post on Reddit and glad I watched! I’m doing crafting interpreters with zig and wanted to use comptimestring map but couldn’t find that it was renamed.

thanks for the overview, and memes :)

I love your intro haha "sorry not much to it"

[l_gravitor]

Yess!! I was looking for a place for zig news! Are you planning on making more content like this?

[alexnoman]

If only there were a good guide on how to use the most common zig build features. I always have to rummage through random repos and find their build file and hope that tgey needed everything I need.

I’d like to learn zig in my free time next year. I hope I have time for it. Too many other projects atm.
