Didn't know anything about Zig, but the .* syntax alone was straight-forward and easy to understand, as is regular copying from one existing memory location to another. I think what seems weird though is more the "... = .{...}" syntax. This makes it look as if there was some kind of anonymous object ".{...}" in memory that you're copying from, but there isn't. It's actually just a writing operation and the .{...} itself doesn't represent anything. Maybe that was also what the author found confusing?
