There are so many neat design choices in zig that make it a joy to code in it even these days. Can't imagine what we get with 1.0.

Some of my personal highlights:

- clean syntax

- comptime (as explicit and simple as it should be)

- reflection

- minimal/no external dependencies

- single threaded mode (instead of taking cuts at runtime)

- concise and explicit error handling

- build-in build system

- amazing C interop

...

Good sample code can also be found in the standard library, and it has the benefit of being up to date with with language.

Thanks Andy!

The standard library is surprisingly present to read and learn from, kinda like go. I really enjoy learning zig.
