About:
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. It focuses on exposing debugging information and integrating with C libraries without a complex build system. Zig serves as a replacement for C with its own standard library and build system.
Key Features:
  • Manual memory management with safety checks
  • C interoperability without bindings
  • Comptime for compile-time code execution
  • Single-pass compiler for fast builds
Use Cases:
  • Systems programming and embedded development
  • High-performance application development
  • Replacing C/C++ in existing projects
Alternatives:
  • rust – Rust offers memory safety via borrow checker, Zig focuses on simplicity and C interop
  • gcc – GCC is a C/C++ compiler, Zig is a language and compiler with built-in cross-compilation
