Nice video. I especially like the new 'labeled switch' feature providing a freeform control flow, and the watch/incremental compile feature. I used to use Rust's watchexec to do zig build on changes; now the watch feature is built natively in zig. The IO based async/await stuff seems to be the right direction; it's following the familiar Allocator pattern. The integrated fuzz testing into the compiler tool chain is fantastic; I can write much less unit tests now.

Zig.day looks like a wonderful way to do laid back hackathons. Looking forward to one coming up.
