The Zig programming language is a
relatively recent entrant into the “systems programming” realm; it looks
to interoperate with C, while adding safety features without sacrificing
performance. The language has been gaining some attention of late and has
announced
progress toward a Zig compiler written in Zig in September. That
change will allow LLVM to become
an optional component, which will be a big step forward for the
“maturity and stability” of Zig.
