I've Been Laid Off. What Now?

Zig is a general-purpose programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability.

Zig is the current language I have been using. It's a great systems-level language and is for the most part pretty relaxing to write in. It's not quite as complex as Rust, but it's a much different feeling. There's only so many people who write Zig, so sometimes getting better at it involves talking to others who also use it too. Sometimes you can even talk to the creator, Andrew Kelley, and he has a blog where he...

25 Jun 2014 . All software components in NixOS are installed using the Nix package manager. Packages in Nix are defined using the nix language to create nix expressions.

Zig's potential is that it is pretty easy to write cross-platform code with it. Normally writing cross-platform code involves using a cross-compiler setup where you write code that targets another platform that's different than your host system. It requires using compilers that have ABIs of the target system, which is not something many have readily available. Sometimes you're often left having to do this yourself...
