The first paragraph in ziglings/README.md reads (bold added herein):

Welcome to Ziglings! This project contains a series of tiny broken programs. (...)

However, in exercise 58, the following is observed:

  • exercise 58 has 472 lines of code
  • line 35 "This is a very big example."
  • line 258 never-before-seen syntax firstly introduced in the middle of the exercise: (...).?.place.

👍 I agree! Ex 058 is a departure from the smaller exercises and you're not the first person to dislike it.

Issue #125 was also about this, but I've not made the time, personally, to replace the longer exercises with shorter ones. I'd love a suggestion for a replacement - probably something less ambitious than a zero-allocation path-finding program. 😆

I think we should change the sentence ...a series of tiny broken programs.. into ..a series of tiny and some bigger programs.... 😅
