Perhaps add a brief paragraph, for C folks, that draws parallels between the Zig code and C. You never know, other readers may find it useful as well.

The author may not know C. As OP said, it's definitely the case that people interested in Zig may not have any interest in going through C first. They may eventually have to, as Zig interfaces heavily with C code and libs, but there's nothing wrong with going Zig first.
