"not an expert in zig" but you can't even look at the documentation to find the `@tagName` builtin to do exactly the problem posed?: <a href="https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.16.0/#tagName" rel="nofollow">https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.16.0/#tagName</a><p>i can literally google "zig enum to string" and the first result is a reddit post where the given solution is `@tagName`. i'm ready to write this post off as a low-effort ad for C3
If it's for debugging purposes, you can use `{any}` as the format and it will print `.BLUE`<p><pre><code> std.debug.print("{any}\n", .{color});</code></pre>
Agree, the post was extremely low effort.

Zig doesn't have attributes, but you could just create a thin wrapper struct over an inner type and use setter functions that throw errors on invalid values. Personally I prefer this over attributes because it forces you to handle possible error states from the callers of the setters, instead of relying on you remembering to call `validate` on your types.
There's a large black zig-zag blocking reading the text.
