In this video we write a tiny number-crunching function in Zig, compile it to a native DLL, and call it from Unity with P/Invoke. We compare it against a plain C# loop and Unity’s Burst compiler, then talk honestly about when a portable native library makes sense versus staying with Burst. You’ll see the full workflow: writing the Zig code, building the DLL, setting up the C# bindings, and reading the benchmark results — all in under 15 minutes.
