The language that let's you truly cross-compile fearlessly ⚡
@ziglang is an incredible C alternative, especially for embedded programming and osdev (easy to get a freestanding environment). I just cross-compiled to aarch64-linux without issues on first try 🤯

Hey @exercism_io, what about a @ziglang track? I'd be happy to lend a hand to make that happen.

Visual Studio for medium-sized solutions and above: 1. Takes forever to launch 2. Some edits cause it to hang for a second or two 3. Most edits cause the red squiggle to stay for a second or two before VS is ok with the change 4. Occasionally corrupts your solution for no reason

Azure DevOps (aka good old VSTS): 1. Runs on half-empty tuna cans, causing basic operations to take forever 2. It's a 50-50 whether you will receive logs when checking logs from a running task (same happens with GitHub, thanks MS) 3. Task status often bugs out, can't count on it
