Basic MetaProgramming in Zig

I often just take an approach similar to cog [1], but it's simple enough I prefer to roll my own to do whatever code generation I'm wanting. E.g. write a ~100 line python file that reads source file(s), reads special comments with code gen or introspection instructions, and then insert generated code at some designated point(s).

That was an interesting blog post, hope we will get more intermediate and advance zig usage blog posts and in the future books about zig.

The language is deliberately pretty small. "Advanced usage" will tend to have to do with the problem domain and solution architecture rather than with the language.
