HPR3559: Linux Inlaws S01E52: The Zig Project

In this episode Martin and Chris have a very special guest: Loris Cro of Zig fame. Zig fame? Stay tuned. Not only is Loris an ex-colleague of our two aging heroes, he is also the community vice president at the Zig Software Foundation. So this episode will be all about this new programming language, why you should use it (and perhaps why you shouldn't) and life, the universe and the rest. And Rust. Of course. :-) Full disclosure: In contrast to other episodes, this one is really tech-heavy and may offend the less technical listeners. Listen at your own discretion if you want to into the weeds of Clang, LLVM, typing and cross-compilation - you have been warned. If this is up alley, you may want consider seeking professional help just in case :-).
