I want to learn Zig

Why:

  1. I want to tackle low-level stuff that Clojure isn’t well suited for, and I want more control than I get from Go (programming language).
  2. I want a language I could make OpenGL stuff in.
  3. I want to learn C, but I don’t want to get stuck in ancient tooling.
  4. I want to work with a lightweight foundation.
  5. I want to see what I can come up with when I don’t have a REPL to work with.
  6. I want experience making more “speed efficient” choices than when I follow “just use maps and other immutable data types”

So … let’s make a Lisp?
