I [had a go](https://code.mfashby.net/z1brc/file/src/main.zig.html) at the [One Billion Row Challenge](https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc), but in Zig rather than Java.

I got down to about 10 seconds :) the leading java solution runs in 2 seconds on my desktop machine (and that's without speedup from using GraalVM)
