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.

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.

Always been impressed with the fine folks at @thesysteminit. This is a good read on their architecture and its use of messaging as a foundational building block. https://t.co/p3LET6zT8L
