A 12-year-old in California built a working printer for blind readers out of a Lego robot kit for his school science fair, after finding that the machines sold for the job cost about $2,000; the parts in his version came to roughly $350 in shops
A twelve-year-old just proved that assistive technology doesn't need to cost thousands when ingenuity and a Lego kit can do the job for under four hundred dollars.

River is a Wayland compositor written in Zig that defines a window manager protocol so that, like with X11, write your own window management software. As with X11, the protocol is language-agnostic, so you can define your window manager using any programming language at all.
I have been gradually becoming more interested in Zig as a potential replacement for C in systems programming. Rust is another interesting potential replacement.
