Every recommendation I’ve seen surrounding learning/using zig’s standard library highlights that there is very limited documentation, so you must read the source. Good news, it’s quite readable and navigable — I’ve done it a lot.

I’m not defending nor criticizing that fact or the OP, but it is the state of things today. Even the existence of the library docs is marked “experimental” on https://ziglang.org/learn/

Maybe it’s not emphasized enough.

IMO, the fact that reading the source is perfectly reasonable advice for the beginner learning zig is a pretty powerful endorsement for the language.

(As someone who did it for AOC 2021)
