Anton (Feb 07 2025 at 17:49): Anton (Feb 07 2025 at 17:49):https://www.openmymind.net/learning_zig is a good read, does anyone else have further recommendations?
Isaac Van Doren (Feb 07 2025 at 18:03):I did Ziglings. It’s excellent https://codeberg.org/ziglings
Anton (Feb 07 2025 at 18:26):Yeah, Anthony recommended that one too :)
Andres Villegas (Feb 08 2025 at 19:41):This one is also very good, I use it as a reference all the time, almost like a cookbook https://zig.guide
Andres Villegas (Feb 08 2025 at 19:41):Is the Zig rewrite being track anywhere?
Brendan Hansknecht (Feb 08 2025 at 19:43):I feel like most of my zig learning has been randomly diving into the standard library and having both of these always open:
https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/
https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/
That and a lot of go to definition straight into standard library source

A bunch of threads in #compiler development
Sam Mohr (Feb 08 2025 at 19:43):@Andres Villegas the rewrite is in the src/ folder in the same repo: https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/tree/main/src
Sam Mohr (Feb 08 2025 at 19:44):If you're curious about progress, feel free to:
Andres Villegas (Feb 08 2025 at 19:44):I was wondering more about github issues or something like it.
Anton (Feb 08 2025 at 19:44):Should we make a github project or something like it as well?
Sam Mohr (Feb 08 2025 at 19:45):No, not really planned to do that, but we can discuss if we want to do that today
Sam Mohr (Feb 08 2025 at 19:45):I think we could make something like that work, but it'll be a little messy
Andres Villegas (Feb 08 2025 at 19:46):Also, someone shared a zig book the other day in one of the Zig discords https://pedropark99.github.io/zig-book/ have not read it at all, but migth be a good starting point for some folks.
Andres Villegas (Feb 08 2025 at 19:46):is hard to know how relevant it will be in about a month with the 0.14 version comming out.

If you're curious about progress, feel free to:
- come to our planning sync today in 15 minutes: #contributing > contributor coordination meeting - Feb 2024 #2
- watch any PRs in the Roc GH repo, pretty much everything will be for Zig
I totally missed this, I'm sorry! I didn't have it on my calendar!
Sam Mohr (Feb 09 2025 at 17:34):Nbd, we'll get it next time
Lucas Rosa (Feb 10 2025 at 00:14):I recommend also just reading stdlib, absolutely fantastic to pick up idioms
Loris Cro (Feb 10 2025 at 19:51):Related to what Lucas said https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/How-to-read-the-standard-library-source-code
Elias Mulhall (Feb 12 2025 at 04:21):The lsp discussion reminded me that there's a config to get ZLS to show comptime info, which is super nice https://kristoff.it/blog/improving-your-zls-experience/
