Zig is a low-level systems-oriented language that is gaining traction despite not reaching version 1.0. It is designed to improve the developer experience and safety in coding, particularly in systems programming, embedded devices, and more. Key features include direct memory access, effective error handling, and conditional compilation. Zig is intended to provide a simpler and safer version of programming compared to older languages like C, while maintaining the performance advantages of low-level programming. Several production projects currently leverage Zig, showcasing its growing applicability in various fields.
Zig is a "close to the metal" language in that it allows developers to work directly with system memory, a requirement for writing code that can be maximally optimized to its task.
Zig seeks to be a simpler systems-oriented language than its predecessors and aims to improve on writing safe, correct code.
