Zig is a language that has excellent interoperability with C, and for this
reason, I use it a lot to interact with C libraries. I also use elixir as a
daily driver for server applications.
In this post, I'll detail the step to be able to call zig code from elixir.
The goal is to do the same as zig's std.hash.crc.Crc32.hash(&buf) on STM32
hardware.
I have been using rust as embedded language for cortex M MCU for a while.
While I like rust, embedded dev in rust has some friction, and a few things are a bit hard to do. Especially C interop and direct memory manipulation.
I decided to give zig a try, and while it is still in very early stage compared to rust, I was able to get a working hello world program quite quickly. And I was able to get RTT working with the SEGGER C library.
In this post, I'll share what I learned and a few gotchas.

As certainly many of us do, I use email a lot.
Currently I am using fastmail, it works quite well, but I have a few issues:
In this post, I'll share how I configured my own IMAP server.
This is part one of two, which focus on IMAP.
This is a quick setup for phoenix 1.6, live view and tailwind for CSS.
