I've randomly decided to post this while on my phone, so I'll keep it short.
Odin is a "low-level with a high-level feel" programming language, which employs a series of philosophies in regards to organization, that makes it as easy as possible to set up a project that uses several source files. Its syntax copies a bit of something from everywhere, including Python.
Raylib is a library intended for learning game development and, like Odin, tries to make it as easy as possible to code a PC game. It supports both 2D and 3D, and is organized in as few libraries as possible.
Odin includes Raylib as part of its built-in vendor libraries, which means that by installing Odin on your computer, you've also installed Raylib with it, and no further setup is needed. Odin also includes other vendor libraries that could be used for game dev (like SDL, for example).
Now, these two together are not a game engine, which may scare some people away, but do not fret! It's easier than it seems, and I do recomend it if anyone's interested in picking up a game dev hobby.
