While having nice libraries is always great, I'd also like to plug the simple zig std library functions.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy was to start parsing simple stuff using std.mem.tokenize() and std.mem.split(). Somehow watching Andrew programming some Advent of Code using these very simple functions made it 'click' for me how parsers are just ordinary programs.
