> "read the source code" comments always strike me as unhelpful. I can understand why people would recommend reading the source code of projects like Redis or SQLite (and here Zig's std lib) to learn, simply because the code quality is so high. It's also not like anyone is proposing that there will be no documentation when Zig turns 1.0 (as if high quality documentation and code quality were mutually exclusive!) simply that Zig is not YET at that stage [1]. There's much to love about Zig, and it's always a good time to be reading code, and all the more so while it's growing and shaping because you end up with a deeper knowledge and understanding of what makes a great project great. [1] Personally, I do find the language documentation to be pretty much excellent and the IRC and Discord helpful—hey, you might even bump into Mitchell Hashimoto also asking questions there. It's the std lib that's a little less, but again, that's in flux and files like `std/mem.zig` are enough of a pleasure to read and learn from. Zig's definitely a swell worth paddling.
