Systems Programming with Zig with Garrison Hinson Hasty

Heard of Zig? It's a modern systems programming language that's turning heads, often mentioned in the same breath as C and Rust. But what makes it so special, and why should you pay attention to it?

In this episode, Allen sits down with Garrison Hinson Hasty, author of one of the very first books on the language, "Systems Programming with Zig." Garrison breaks down the core philosophy behind Zig, explaining its unique approach to simplicity, performance, and giving power back to the developer.

This is a must-listen for any programmer curious about the next wave of low-level languages and looking to understand what makes Zig tick.
