Blog no. 01
Introduction
So recently I watched the YouTube videos of Andrew Kelly (link-1, link-2) and became a fan of zig. I tried the ziglings exercises and loved the language, and now wants to get my hands dirty with zig. Thanks to friend and mentor Mr. Praseed Pai I have a set of simple C/C++ programs here (GNULinux.pdf) that I can rewrite in zig to learn. It covers simple but critical topics elegantly like going through environment variables, command line arguments, pipes, IPC etc and I think I'll enjoy this. As I'm going though this, I chose to share my journey with you. Hope you will enjoy it as me.
Prerequisites before reading this blog:
My goal is to share some zig programs with you so that you also can get your hands dirty with zig. I will not be covering what zig is and what it is trying to achieve nor what it is trying to do different from c/rust/go. You must watch Mr. Kelly's talks and interviews for understanding this. I strongly believe that receiving information from the source is better than receiving it through the grapevine.
