دانلود کتاب برنامه‌نویسی سیستم‌ها با زیگ (Zig)

Zig is a language made for builders. It’s a new direction for systems programming that aims to combine the best ideas from the past with a sleek modern design. It will enable you to write reliable, maintainable code that relies on the bare minimum third-party dependencies and runs just about anywhere. New software is constantly being written, and a lot of it is presented as a “better” replacement for something that we already know works, and works well. Zig might be new, but it’s not a fork in the road. If you ever plan to write a native library, a data processing tool, a performant backend, an embedded operating system, or any other kind of technology where performance and reliability are key, learning Zig will enable you to go from zero to robust code quickly and painlessly. On the other hand, Zig is not about moving from point A to point B in the fastest way possible. It demands knowledge first, and requires careful planning. It is not the best language for new programmers to learn. It solves problems that are familiar to more experienced developers, in ways that are overkill for complete newbies to understand. Additionally, if you’re in a position where placing short-term results over long-term resiliency and code quality is a trade-off you often find yourself making, you’re likely to find Zig’s demands frustrating. Zig’s community aims to build a culture around a set of well-informed opinions about the nature of software development. By making it clear how to do things the Zig way, Zig software is performant, resilient, and simple to deploy. If you value simple, legible, and performant code, enjoy self-directed learning, seek depth of understanding over blind convenience, and respect the tools that built the foundations of modern computing, Zig is made for you.
