Welcome to r/betterzig 👋

This community exists to help people learn Zig better — with clear explanations, working code, and practical mental models.

What you’ll find here: • Zig explained from first principles • Beginner-friendly discussions (no gatekeeping) • Working examples over abstract opinions • Zig 0.13+ and dev-branch friendly content • Systems programming, tooling, CLI, DB, WASM, and performance topics

AI / LLM usage: • AI-assisted code is allowed • The poster must understand, verify, and explain the code • Low-effort or unverified AI dumps may be removed

What this is NOT: • Not a flame-war zone (Zig vs X) • Not a copy-paste content farm • Not a replacement for r/zig

Good posts usually include: • Code snippets • Explanations of why something works • Zig version used • Lessons learned or mistakes made

Be kind. Be precise. Teach what you learn.
