  I think this marks a cross-road: you build a "batteries included" programming language (python, Go style) or an artisan one (like C, Rust).

  Zig is the batteries included one, with an optional standard library. Makes it truly versatile in my opinion: I have played with pure systems programming[1], played with bpf and will run it on a microcontroller in the upcoming workshop[2]. After 15 years being a professional in tech I am excited about a technology again. :)

  "Note: this server hasn't been tested very well, it works in the most simple of cases (like the above), but this is more a POC than a complete http server"

  Isn't it too early to merge this then?
