83: Zig and Zigler with Isaac Yonemoto

We talk with Isaac Yonemoto about the Zig language and his Zigler Elixir library. We learn where Zig came from, why it is capturing people's interest, and how Zigler makes it easy to write native, cross-compiled NIFs in Elixir! At the end we shift into talking about his OpenAPI Elixir project that comes at the problem from a different direction than others. A fun get-to-know-you with Isaac and a great look into Zig and where it might go with Elixir in the future.
