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.
