The Zig project has

announced the release of the 0.14 version of the language,
including changes from more than 250 contributors. Zig is a low-level,
memory-unsafe programming language that aims to compete with C instead of
depending on it. Even though the language has not yet had a stable release,
there are a number of projects using it as an alternative to C with better
metaprogramming.
While the project’s release
schedule has been a bit inconsistent, with the release of version 0.14 being

delayed
several times, the release contains a number of new convenience features,
broader architecture support, and the next steps toward removing Zig’s
dependency on LLVM.
