Okay well then better start with my Zig episode 1 (old) or 2 (this series) and not ep#55 ;-)
Zig is a drop-in replacement also and improvement of C (not C), although can bind to and/or replace C as well. But C and Zig can be intertwined in the same code directly in Zig and Zig can be used to compile C etc.

Zig is awesome!
