I'm reverse engineering a 30 year old obscure proprietary USB protocol and man it's really surprised how Zig is great as a scripting/glue language. It's fast, super friendly legacy c/c++ codebases, and easy to debug (transparency ftw!) Instead of using shell and clis, everything is written in Zig which gives me easy access for low-level things whenever I need it. Pre-LLM that wouldn't be possible because ergonomics but now that I don't have to write any code it's so much easier to simply compile straight down to assembly
