This looks amazing! Also the visual style of the book is 😘

It looks pretty AI to me... but that's just me
I do think the content is nice
but a lot doesn't match in a narrative sense
and neither in the pedagogical way
But I applaud the thought (Also, I do think you coded the examples, don't get me wrong, as far as I have read)

Debug with confidence. When something goes wrong, you will not be guessing. You will read stack traces, inspect memory layouts, verify allocator behavior, and pinpoint issues with the same tools that built the Zig compiler itself.
i mean this is kinda a dead giveaway to me
no one talks like this

well, this is surely interesting comment - https://lobste.rs/s/pbn3zy/zigbook_learn_zig_programming_language#c_epxt2r
Quick research - author's actual profile is https://github.com/zk-evm, and he's a potential scammer from crypto spaces, who also happens to be running fake GitHub Organisation of the Cursor editor, along with related BuyMeACoffee claiming it being official page of the "Cursor AI Editor".

he also owns https://github.com/zigglang and https://github.com/zig-vm
he has also owned the now banned organizations: https://github.com/zig-eth https://github.com/cursor-ml https://github.com/The-Peer-Review and currently owns https://github.com/getcursor
im guessing his hustle is impersonation -> malware/crypto stealing -> account gets banned -> repeat

also found https://github.com/zk-evm which posted a fake cursor repo and got banned sometime after, https://github.com/cursor-ide,

I typed up a juicy main report that I will send after they get banned.

I was trying to find some actual malware and gave up, i think they are just using gh to boost seo, and will eventually replace the cursor download script they are spamming in gists with malware (this one: https://gitrollup.com/r/getcursor.sh)

I created an account in their new forums with an alternate email, and you can't even make new posts there.

Good news is: with more zig codebases switching to codeberg and other alternative git sites, it'll be harder for AI to write zig code for newer versions 😉

yeah but also for ai to get proper documentation when debugging 😭
which is, ouch. zig is already hard enough. sometimes you just have a confusing bug and ai is a good help in those cases

The discord is proving to be a very helpful resource, you can ask basically any question and people will answer
That obviously won’t scale forever, but it’s nice
Though I do think that zig is doing well above average at converting newbies into community members

I posted in #zig about this but I think this book is also AI slop (mostly): https://www.packtpub.com/en-us/product/learning-zig-9781835084496
