Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The design choices behind the Zig programming language's syntax makes it clear and consistent to use. It has prefix types, raw strings, and a uniform approach where everything is treated as an expression. Integer literals without suffixes, the removal of the arrow in function definitions, and the use of keywords to denote control flow, including boolean operators, are other features that are shown in this article that make it a useful language.
