When newcomers to Zig find out the language doesn't have a builtin string data structure type, it comes as a big surprise. But like C, Zig is a low-level language and strings are quite a high level of abstraction over what they truly are, just a sequence of bytes. In this episode we'll demystify strings in Zig and you'll appreciate the benefits of being able to work so close to the metal.
