Programming WebAssembly with Zig - Getting Started with the Zig Programming Language

Explore the ZIG programming language and WebAssembly in this comprehensive tutorial video. Learn how to install ZIG, create a "Hello World" program, and experience the language's rapid compilation. Develop a math library and compile it into WebAssembly, then execute the resulting WASM in Node.js. Convert WebAssembly from WASM to WAT format and analyze the disassembled code. Discover how to use WASI, WASM, and WASMER to run ZIG WASM independently. Gain insights into creating both native applications and WebAssembly applications/libraries for browser or server-side use with ZIG.
