I’ve been using portable writing setups for a while. I started with an AlphaSmart Neo. This was great, but with the screen angle being fixed not as versatile as I had wanted. I wrote a novella on it (said novella would later be extended and become a #1 best-seller in Amazon’s Science Fiction Romance category!)

I love this warm color scheme from Steph Ango (kepano, CEO of Obsidian) based on printing inks and warm paper. It's my new default theme in Sublime Text—which is still my preferred editor when I'm not slogging through large PHP codebases.

Zig is a new, independently developed low-level programming language. It’s a modern reimagining of C that attempts to retain all of C’s performance benefits while also taking advantage of improvements in tooling and language design from the last 30 years.

Because Zig is designed to replace C, one of the first-class features is that you can call into C libraries from a Zig application. I couldn’t find any simple examples demonstrating Zig’s C interop functionality, so I decided to write my own.
