The lang/zig port
zig-0.11.0 – zig compiler and toolchain (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for
maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
- Robust : behavior is correct even for edge cases such as out of
memory.
- Optimal : write programs the best way they can behave and perform.
- Reusable : the same code works in many environments which have
different constraints.
- Maintainable : precisely communicate intent to the compiler and
other programmers. The language imposes a low overhead to reading
code and is resilient to changing requirements and environments.
- Simple Language
Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your
programming language knowledge.
- No hidden control flow.
- No hidden memory allocations.
- No preprocessor, no macros.
- Comptime
A fresh approach to metaprogramming based on compile-time code
execution and lazy evaluation.
- Call any function at compile-time.
- Manipulate types as values without runtime overhead.
- Comptime emulates the target architecture.
- Performance Meets Safety
Write fast, clear code capable of handling all error conditions.
- The language gracefully guides your error handling logic.
- Configurable runtime checks help you strike a balance between
performance and safety guarantees.
- Take advantage of vector types to express SIMD instructions
portably.
