This sounds very promising. It's nice to see that people still try to optimize programming languages by creating new, high-performance tools. I'll take a look at the documentation and if I understand it, everybody can :)

LOL! Don't underestimate your skills! I definitely don't underestimate you! Having said this, Zig is branded as a "simple" language, but make no mistake,
simple != easy. As the Legend #14 Johan Cruyff used to say "Nothing is harder than to play simple football".Hive itself (the blockchain, not the frontend you're interacting with) is mostly built using C++, which is also a systems programming language. C++ itself is an object oriented iteration of C which is mainly procedural (at least, hence its name as
++means+1so the name C++ is like "C version 2") and Zig is fully compatible with C. So basically Zig competes with C and C++, but not with Python for example, which is a dynamically typed interpreted language. Most Python modules under the hood are C (or Fortran, or Zig moving forward).But follow along my tutorial series on Zig, it'll get a lot more complex ;-) Yet super cool!!! You'll see!
Thanks - sounds promising :)
