If you have ideas for new lessons or a way Ziglings could be
improved, don't hesitate to file an issue.
I prefer to write the bulk of the content myself at this time
(part of the reason I'm building Ziglings is to learn Zig
myself!), but I'm always open to ideas.
Feel free to submit new exercises but please understand that they
may be heavily edited or rejected entirely if we feel they don't
fit for one reason or another.

## What's Covered
I've decide to limit Ziglings to the core language and not
attempt coverage of the Standard Library. Perhaps you can change
my mind?
The primary goal for Ziglings is to cover the core Zig language.
Core Language
It would be nice to cover the Standard Library as well, but this
is currently challenging because the stdlib is evolving even
faster than the core language (and that's saying something!).
Not only would stdlib coverage change very rapidly, some exercises might even cease to be relevant entirely.
Having said that, there are some stdlib features that are probably here
to stay or are so important to understand that they are worth the
extra effort to keep current.
Conspicuously absent from Ziglings are a lot of string
manipulation exercises. This is because Zig itself largely avoids
dealing with strings. Hopefully there will be an obvious way to
address this in the future. The Ziglings crew loves strings!
