ZigZig-AI-driven assistant for developers

Example

ZigZig can explain how Zig's error handling works differently from exceptions in C++ or Go.

Scenario

A developer might be switching from C++ to Zig and be confused by the lack of traditional try/catch blocks. ZigZig can explain how Zig uses error unions and error sets to offer a lightweight, more predictable error handling mechanism, making it easier for the developer to understand the migration process.

Example

ZigZig can help debug common mistakes like misuse of Zig's comptime feature, guiding developers on proper usage.

Scenario

When a developer attempts to use Zig's compile-time execution incorrectly (e.g., trying to perform runtime-dependent operations in `comptime`), ZigZig can identify this issue and provide suggestions on how to refactor the code for better performance.

Example

ZigZig can explain how Zig's memory safety compares to Rust's borrow checker or Go's garbage collection.

Scenario

If a developer asks whether they should use Rust or Zig for a low-level systems programming project, ZigZig can explain the trade-offs: Zig’s manual memory management gives more control, but Rust's borrow checker guarantees memory safety at the cost of some flexibility. This allows developers to make more informed decisions based on their project needs.
