Zig type system illustrated using ascii diagrams

Zig Type System

Zig aims to be a simple language. It is not easy to define what simple exactly means, but zig is also a low-level programming language that aims for c-compatibility. To reach this goal, it needs good semantics in its type system so that developers have a complete toolbox to manipulate data.

So types in zig are composable, but this can become rapidly overwhelming. See those examples. Are you able to understand them at a glance, as soon as you read them?

Setting up Redis to run as a daemon under systemd

This can be used to daemonize anything that would normally run in the foreground; I picked Redis. Put this in /etc/systemd/system/redis.service:

[Unit]
Description=Redis
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
RestartSec=5s
