Zig overview

Zig is a general-purpose, statically-typed systems programming language designed as a modern alternative to C — offering manual memory control with no hidden allocations, comptime for compile-time code execution, and explicit error handling without exceptions. Zig has no preprocessor or macro system; metaprogramming is achieved purely through comptime. It can cross-compile out of the box and can seamlessly import C headers. Its allocator interface makes it a natural fit for embedded and resource-constrained contexts. Zig is also used as a C/C++ build system and ships a bundled Clang-based C compiler.
