After testing, seems Zig doesn't have overloaded functions. Is there a way for handling implementing generics/templates? For example, writing a function that takes a union type argument that subtypes can be cast into.
An example is writing a function that can print an array by taking one of any numeric type, not just u8
fn generic_print(arr: []u8);
Generics and Overloaded Functions

I think that reading the std lib source code is great to explain how generics work in Zig
Here’s an example of a generic function

And here’s how you can choose an implementation based on a type

Zig doesn't support function overloading but you can use anytype type, then using type introspection assert whether correct arguments have been supplied
