Zig

Recently, on 6 Feb 2026, when I got interested in Low Level design
and Systems Programming, I was just randomly looking for very good
languages. While doing that, I stumbled upon Zig, which caught
my attention because I never even heard that name before. So,
I started learning it and, Oh Boy, THIS LANGUAGE IS SOO GOOD🎊🥳!

Here is why it became my fav🎯🎊🤖:

It is very low level, so it matches my interest perfectly
It is very fast, which is also an important point for me
It is very explicit, meaning you HAVE TO SAY everything loudly
It has no hidden allocations
It has excellent C interop
It has excellent error handling, unlike C.
(So on so forth)

I also want to point out that I am by no means telling Zig is the
best. It also have a lot of disadvantages. But, for me, the benefits
are so much more pronounced than the disadvantages.

But, I do think you guys have to give Zig a try, because it
might become your fav as well🚀🚀!!

Here are resources that I use for learning:

Until next time, see you!!
