            #Zigtoberfest 2025 was a blast! Everything from the speaker lineup and talks to the selection of beers and "Spezi" was fantastic, the organization perfect! David organized, hosted, moderated, live-streamed, recorded, catered, and financed it all by himself, so if you can, pls

             What makes Zig conferences unique is that they’re not just about Zig; they’re about sharing knowledge across a wide range of unrelated topics, from people experimenting with all kinds of crazy ideas. It’s incredibly mind-opening.

             Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @jorandirkgreef.  https://t.co/XGjeizeFRy

             Excited to share that TigerBeetle and @synadia have pledged $512,000 to the @ziglang Software Foundation. Zig changed my life, making TigerBeetle possible. It's been an adventure these past 5 years, and thrilled to pay it forward, together with my friend @derekcollison.
