Zig and Go Integration: `cgo`, Exported C ABI Functions, Buffers, and Runtime Constraints

A practical two-hour session on Zig and Go Integration, focused on cgo, Exported C ABI Functions, Buffers, and Runtime Constraints. The session treats Zig as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to exported symbols, allocators, packaging, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig and Go Integration
• Apply cgo in a small working example
• Apply Exported C ABI Functions in a small working example
• Apply Buffers in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
