I'm not a professional programmer, this is all a hobby for me and i managed to pick and write an entire game with it
maybe you are just bad as a programmer (nothing wrong with that)
you have to learn how to learn, not everybody can do that (and it's fine)
that being said, zig is a language in the making, some areas are rough, but that's to be expected
This was actually my impression after reading the post. A bad programmer making a lot of ill-informed complaints. Zig is an unfinished low-level language. Not suitable for bad programmers.
Also it's a log of personal experience and not titled "an objective criticism of Zig". I've been interested in Zig a little for a while and this was awesome to read. It hasn't made my interest any smaller or bigger, it's simply a description of one beginner's journey, and if the Zig people are smart they will analyze it and then decide which points are valid and which ones can be ignored. Neither ignoring everything nor accepting everything would probably be useful.
