Open-source Zig book

> Learning Zig is not just about adding a language to your resume. It is about fundamentally changing how you think about software.

I'm not sure what they expect, but to me Zig looks very much like C with a modern standard lib and slightly different syntax. This isn't groundbreaking, not a thought paradigm which should be that novel to most system engineers like for example OCaml could be. Stuff like this alienates people who want a technical justification for the use of a language.

For those who actually want to learn languages which are "fundamentally changing how you think about software", I'd recommend the Lisp family and APL family.

Am I correct that you can essentially "learn APL without learning APL" by just learning Numpy / Pytorch?

I looked at array languages briefly, and my impression was that"ooh this is just Numpy but weirder."
