Zig

Zig is a modern systems programming language offering manual memory management, compile-time code execution (comptime), and a built-in cross-compiling C/C++ toolchain.

When to Use

• Low-Level Systems & Kernel Development: Writing bare-metal kernels, embedded device software, hypervisors, and audio engines.
• Drop-in C/C++ Compiler Toolchain: Utilizing zig cc and zig c++ for instant, cross-compilation without external dependencies.
• Explicit Memory Allocation & Safety: High-performance software demanding complete control over allocations without hidden heap usage.
• Compile-Time Metaprogramming (Comptime): Writing generics, serialization, and type-level algorithms without macro systems or templates.

Quick Start

const std = @import("std");
