Zig
Zig is a modern system language competing with C/Rust. v0.13 (2025) stabilizes the stdlib and build system. It is famous for its C toolchain capabilities (zig cc).
When to Use
- Systems Programming: OS kernels, game engines, embedded.
- Cross-Compilation: The best cross-compiler toolchain in existence.
- Drop-in C Replacement: Can compile .c files directly.
Core Concepts
Comptime
Run code at compile time. comptime { ... }.
Allocators
Memory management is explicit. You pass an Allocator to functions.
Defer
defer allocator.free(bytes) ensures cleanup.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use
zig cc: To compile C/C++ projects easier than Make/CMake. - Handle Errors: Zig uses error unions
!T. - Use
GeneralPurposeAllocator: Included debug features for leaks.
Don't:
- Don't expect stability: Only use if you can tolerate breaking changes until v1.0.
