The problem Stylish Stylus solves

Arbitrum's stylus solve a very important problem of having the freedom to write our smart contracts in the langauge we like, Our team believes in the same principal and have come up with Stylish Stylus! Stylish Stylus is implements the lightning fast zig language for the stylus protocol so that users can write the smart contracts in the Zig langauge. Why Zig? Zig is a lightning fast language which is considered to be the next "C lang" which also comes with very small WASM binaries that are ideal for blockchain. We have also implemented a IDE/Playground where user can directly experience how awesome writing smart contracts with Zig is! Users can also experience writing smart contracts with other languages supported by Stylus and Can directly deploy their smart contracts onChain with just a few clicks so the users don't have to go through the whole process of setting up an environment.

Challenges we ran into

Implementing support for a new language to such a large developement system comes it's set of chanllenges, As Stylus had implmentations for the smart contract developement in langauges such as Rust and C/C++, there were functionalities that are specific to the Rust lang there just weren't present in Zig lang, to get over this problem we had to find a different way to implement a couple of features.
