Andrew Kelley, creator of Zig, introduces the language at the Recurse Center's Localhost series in 2018. He covers its goals of robustness, optimality and clarity, C interop, cross-compilation and explicit allocators.
Why HN recommends it: HN repeatedly recommends it as the definitive introduction to Zig straight from its author, and links to it whenever Zig's design choices come up.
