Those of you who are interested in Zig and like embedded stuff, you might find Microzig a lot simpler to grok.

It's just an SDK (for a bunch of different mcus) that has its own build tools, HAL, and drivers.

How does this compare to Rust?

I still fail to see where does Zig make a difference vs. Rust. What's the usefulness of the project here...
