I started learning zig recently and was midway completing the ziglings exercises. Its a very good source of knowledge about the language intricacies but I am having a difficult time trying to think of examples or usecases where those details might be useful.

When I did the multi-item pointers exercise, to my mind it didn't seem to have any use because of how it loses information about length and can cause more memory bugs. I am not doubting zig devs and I'm sure there would be some really good usecases for it but I need some examples for me to have a better understanding of it.

Writing here hoping someone will point me to some good resources.
