> Zig's creator, Andrew Kelly, has a youtube video where he ports some C++ Vulkan code to Zig, which to me just goes to show how well it works together. I've moved a shocking amount of code from Rust to Zig over the last few days

Is something wrong with the layout of this page? If I'm zoomed 100% in chrome, I can't scroll to the top. I have to zoom out to about 50% see the top of the page.

Yeah it has bizarre margin and positioning styles set forcing the text off screen. How odd.

(and one continuous paragraph harms readability)

edit: here's a great talk on zig from the recurse center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4oYSByyRak

Looks fairly broken for me too, paragraphs and a border which doesn't overlap the text would be nice.

I'd say reader mode makes it more bearable but the lack of even paragraphs still makes it kinda hard to read..

Same thing here but reader-mode in Firefox cleans it up for me.

Why is there an margin-top: -513 in the css? Whatever it is supposed to accomplish, aside from me having to open the page source in order to read the article it isn't doing anything else than messing up the page (Firefox).

> comptime means what it says: anything marked as comptime will either be known or calculated at runtime.

Umm...

Please don't let the quality of this article's presentation turn you off of Zig, it actually is pretty great.
