Would love to hear your experiences hiring devs and building projects in a new, scarcely-used language and ecosystem like this. I imagine you don't quite get the range of applicants you'd see hiring devs for Rust or Go or other trendy languages du jour, but maybe that's actually a good thing since it weeds out less experienced devs and résumé liars who probably don't even know Zig exists…?
