// Great news! Now we know enough to understand a "real" Hello World

// program in Zig - one that uses the system Standard Out resource...which

// Take note that this main() definition now returns "!void" rather

// than just "void". Since there's no specific error type, this means
|
|
// that Zig will infer the error type. This is appropriate in the case
|
|
// of main(), but can make a function harder (function pointers) or
|
|
// even impossible to work with (recursion) in some situations.
