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.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 - From Python to Zig06:40 - Zig vs C and Rust?10:03 - Demystifying Allocators15:41 - Safety vs. Speed in Zig's Release Modes27:25 - Compile-Time Metaprogramming30:09 - How You Can Use Zig with Flutter, WebAssembly, and more📘 GET THE BOOK!Dive deeper into the concepts discussed in this episode with Garrison's book, "Systems Programming with Zig".Get 45% off with code FHWFhinsonhasty at checkout.🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q03TWzyC0CONNECT🎙️ Guest: Garrison Hinson HastyGithub: https://github.com/garrisonhh👨💻 Host: Allen WymaX/Twitter: https://x.com/allenwyma🚀 Flying High with FlutterListen: https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast...Watch: / @flyinghighwithflutter Connect:X/Twitter: / fhwflutter Facebook: / flyinghighwithflutter Website: https://flyinghighwithflutter.com....#ZigLang #SystemsProgramming #Programming #Developer #Compiler #RustLang #CLang #Performance #TechPodcast #LowLevelProgramming #Zig #Dev #Rust #C
