I built a Zig Unicode library with AI.

I've been writing code for more than 35 years, a large part of that professionally, but I've probably written most of my code as a hobby. I've written plenty of C, PHP, Go, JavaScript, Solidity, Python, and other languages. So, this is not about someone with no development expertise one-shotting a project. On the other hand, I’m not fluent in Zig. Do you remember when you started learning a second language, and at some point you could understand what people were saying, but could only say very basic things? This is where I am with Zig. I can read Zig, but my writing skills are really lagging. This distinction was mostly pointless in the past, but makes total sense when AI can write most of the code. IMO, reading code is becoming more important than writing code, and this also affects programming languages. It is one of the reasons I like Zig. I find it much easier to read than, for example, Rust. There are fewer idioms and abstractions to mentally unpack. Zig may be harder to write,…
