In this video we build a Zig application from scratch using the new Async I/O model from Zig 0.16 — no manual threads, no callbacks, just try await. You'll see in practice how to: Create a Zig project from scratch with zig init Add pacman as a dependency via zig fetch Configure build.zig to import the library Make an async HTTP request with async/await Parse the JSON response and print a list of pilots to the terminal pacman is an idiomatic Zig HTTP client inspired by the browser's Fetch API — if you've used fetch() in JavaScript, you already know how to use pacman. It was built by the Spider team, the web framework for Zig. 🔗 Links pacman (HTTP client): https://github.com/llllOllOOll/pacman Spider (web framework for Zig): https://www.spiderme.org/
