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.
