I took a year off, and one of the things I did was learn Zig. I've built a number of libraries, including one of the currently more popular HTTP server libraries (https://github.com/karlseguin/http.zig).

A number of my libraries are used for https://www.aolium.com/ which I decided to write for myself.

I try to write a bit every day with the benefit that I can "waste" time digging into things or exploring likely-to-fail paths.
