What is Zig?

Zig is an adaptable programming language and toolkit crafted to facilitate the development of dependable, efficient, and reusable software elements.

By focusing on fixing application problems rather than getting bogged down by complex language features, productivity can be significantly improved.

This language introduces a novel approach to metaprogramming that combines execution at compile time with lazy evaluation methods.

It guarantees transparency by avoiding hidden control flows and unforeseen memory allocations.

Zig functions without the need for a preprocessor or macros, allowing unrestricted invocation of functions during compile time.

It supports type manipulation as first-class values without incurring any runtime costs, and its compile-time capabilities are designed to accurately reflect the target architecture.

Moreover, it can act as a zero-dependency substitute or a complementary option to C/C++ compilers, featuring built-in cross-compilation support from the outset.

Leverage the zig build system to create a consistent development environment that works effortlessly across different platforms.

Additionally, integrating a Zig compilation unit into your current C/C++ projects is simple, as it automatically enables cross-language link-time optimization, making the process smoother than ever before.
