I’m a data engineer and I enjoy tinkering with SQL, Python, Linux, and moving data around.

But I feel like I lack a deeper understanding of how computers actually work: memory, storage, CPU/compute, how they interact with each other.

I want to dive deeper to become a better engineer.

Is Zig the best choice for learning this? Should I stick to C, or use something else? Or does the language not really matter as long as I learn low-level concepts properly?

--EDIT--

FWIW : I did learn C in the past at uni but that was many moons ago and I wasn't particularly good at it, and got lost with malloc (studying maths was my forte).
