Having coded in Zig for a while, my only comment is that no offense to
Zig or Andrew Kelley, but the language is still in development, and as
long as version 1.0 remains unreleased, the code will change drastically
between versions.
I made a program in Zig 0.10.1, and once Zig 0.11.0 came out, I was
doing lots of overhours to convert my 0.10.1 code to 0.11.0 code.
So I personally would wait until 1.0 comes out, and hopefully Andrew
finally changes his heart and allows at least individual programmers to
manually format Zig code as they please (seeing all the complaints he's
been dismissing in that regard, probably never gonna happen).

Never send passwords, tokens, personal information, or other volunerable information without proper PGP encryption!

If you're writing your emails unencrypted, please consider sending PGP encrypted emails for security reasons.

Every good email client is able to send encrypted emails.
If yours can't, then you should consider switching to a secure email client, because yours just sucks.

My recommendations are Claws Mail or NeoMutt.
