I've been developing a CHIP-8 emulator as a means of learning Zig, it's been very fun! The community seems quite small and tight-knit, and with that, comes a lot of helpful individuals.

Having never worked with a language that is particular about memory, Zig has felt like a nice balance. Dealing with the allocator is clear and being intentional about the bit-width of things like integers helps articulate what is expected, which can be important in an emulation project. The built-in WASM compilation seems like something I will explore with this project too. That part is a nice touch
