NB, genderfluid. For the past several years, I’ve been primarily coding in Rust. Picking up Zig again after first trying it around 2 years ago via the cryptopals challenges, and having a lot of fun. Currently working through an online book to build a toy Redis clone. The book uses C and C++, which I am translating into Zig, so that I can both learn more about lower level networking on Linux, and reacquaint myself with Zig. Ultimately, though, I want to think of a more real-world project, so that I have a reason to keep using it

yeah totally! tysm for sharing 
The way I am writing it now the bar is configured using Zig itself by importing a library and calling into it to setup modules and options and then finally to run the actual bar. I will maybe eventually open-source it and post ab it here in Showcase if I ever get it to a place where it works and I am using it personally and it makes sense to share it 
also very cool live shader! I am very curious ab 3d graphics programming and would love to learn more about it. I’ve played around with raylib and sdl3 in Zig and made very basic lil toy programs but I am very much a beginner with 3d graphics.

Trans woman here, I mostly lurk but I’m hoping to post something I’ve been working on soon. I like the recent posts about connecting, btw, it’s cool to see the community learning more about each other.

also those cryptography challenges look very cool, I might take a stab at them sometime. I acc don’t know a lot more than the very basics of cryptography so, should be fun :3 also thanks for sharing

Hi, I would consider myself nonbinary. I’ve been using zig for a long time now. I use zig for building small internal tools at my workplace and for the many personal projects I start.

Hello there!
Yet another trans woman here, from Italy! :3
Mostly lurking here on Ziggit, although but sometimes I do reply to threads relevant to my works : P
Although I’m a student, I work(ed) on a lot of projects, usually game engines/embedded/general-low-level stuff (the most exciting to see work and break :3). Hopefully one day I’ll land a job on those subjects. ^w^
Regarding to Zig, I’m currently using it to make a small prototype platformer game plus a few tools, I’ve also used its toolchain for C/++ development, as its so much better than dealing with CMake… oh! Am also one of the devs which work on ZigBrains, the IntelliJ/CLion plugin for Zig :3
Am quite happy to see other gals and emby pals out here, quite a wind of change from the usual company, usually these places are mostly men (not that they’re bad!).
Happy pride!!!

Heya, though It’d pop in and say hi. Trans, from Australia 
.
(I saw enough of the previous thread that I was originally going to steer clear of it all, thankfully it’s been split off).
Was using Rust a bit, on and off for few years from 2015. Worked a bit in embedded C/(C++ ish) and Python, found I much preferred working without classes. Oh and a bit of web dev and QT (guis) when the work stuff needed to be done. Currently back (again) at Uni finishing off a degree.
Been enjoying Zig, it’s hit a good spot with complexity and functionality. I know it’s a moving target, few raw edges here and there. Been watching from the sidelines (as I don’t like to waste people time), the community seems to have a good head on it’s shoulders.
Currently I’ve been working on a PS1 emulator, restricting the documentation to challenge my skill set. It’s been good to see where I need work on my approach to things. Planning to play around with Zig’s webasm in the future to see if it can fit a missing slot in my web dev tooling.

Don’t wanna be super specific about my location, but trans woman from Asia currently pivoting from physics to biostatistics for my masters. Only project I’ve done to completion-ish is an implementation of the bytepusher VM, might do similar stuff if I can figure out how audio works :3

Trans woman here! I’m in the Western US and I work in the embedded space. Been playing around with Zig in a few toy programs and hoping to build some embedded projects in the future.

Hi I no longer read as a woman or trans day to day, after a decade finding myself genderwise… but I wanted to say hi and that I’m happy to see this thread as a friend of dorothy and blåhaj both lol. In Zig I’ve messed with Objective-C and Lua interop, and am playing with structured concurrency using std.Io.
