Zig Compiler-Adjacent Tooling: Source Scans, Formatting Checks, and Error Reports

A practical two-hour session on Zig Compiler-Adjacent Tooling, focused on Source Scans, Formatting Checks, and Error Reports. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

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

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Compiler-Adjacent Tooling
• Apply Source Scans in a small working example
• Apply Formatting Checks in a small working example
• Apply and Error Reports 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.
