First Contribution to Zig: Implementing insque() and remque()

I recently made my first contribution to the Zig programming language by implementing insque() and remque() - two doubly-linked list functions from the C standard library.

What are insque and remque?

These are classic C functions for manipulating doubly-linked lists…

The Journey

Initial Setup

Getting started was trickier than expected…

The Implementation

[Talk about translating from C to Zig, understanding the Node struct, etc.]

Build Issues

[The fun parts - version mismatches, merge conflicts, CI failures]

What I Learned

• How Zig’s build system works
• The importance of reading existing code patterns
• [etc.]
