zig-0.16.0

Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. - Robust : behavior is correct even for edge cases such as out of memory. - Optimal : write programs the best way they can behave and perform. - Reusable : the same code works in many environments which have different constraints. - Maintainable : precisely communicate intent to the compiler and other programmers. The language imposes a low overhead to reading code and is resilient to changing requirements and environments. - Simple Language Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your programming language knowledge. - No hidden control flow. - No hidden memory allocations. - No preprocessor, no macros. - Comptime A fresh approach to metaprogramming based on compile-time code execution and lazy evaluation. - Call any function at compile-time. - Manipulate types as values without runtime overhead. - Comptime emulates the target architecture. - Performance Meets Safety Write fast, clear code capable of handling all error conditions. - The language gracefully guides your error handling logic. - Configurable runtime checks help you strike a balance between performance and safety guarantees. - Take advantage of vector types to express SIMD instructions portably.
