Zig Script-Friendly Output: stdout, stderr, JSON Lines, and Exit Codes

A practical two-hour session on Zig Script-Friendly Output, focused on stdout, stderr, JSON Lines, and Exit Codes. 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 Script-Friendly Output
• Apply stdout in a small working example
• Apply stderr in a small working example
• Apply JSON Lines 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.
