Zig Is Not Flying Yet

· by Kiire Constantinezigprogramming

The Zig programming language is a general-purpose language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

Ownership over the toolchain

Unlike many languages which delegate to a hodgepodge of external tools, Zig ships with a build system, a package manager, and a compiler that all understand one another. There is no Makefile glue required.

A small example

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    printf("hello from C\n");
    return 0;
}

An ordered list

  1. Learn the basics
  2. Read the standard library
  3. Build something real
