people can choose how the tone of their education. some people may want brass tacks engineering and to focus on getting a job.. some people may want a philosophical approach... its a good thing that there are lots of diverse mindsets out there.
I had worked on a tool for hosting collaborative editing of these kinds of things, but we are currently evaluating whether we should pursue it further.
If anyone is interested in getting into zig, we made a library that has similar goals (and can run on WASM in the browser): https://github.com/ibebrett/zigzag
I am hacking up a minimalist game framework for zig that runs on the web and natively (without changing your code). It's heavily inspired by pico8 and would be great for 3 hour game jams (trijam) or just for learning some zig (my main motivation).
Upcoming features (in the next day or so) include mac/linux support, audio, and potentially a fully native backend for windows (rather than using sdl).
