Zig
Zig is a general-purpose language focused on robustness, optimality, and maintainability, with a build system and C/C++ cross compilation included.
Why use it
Custom runtimes, tools, and small engines gain low-level control with less multi-platform compiler setup.
Where it fits
Find engines, frameworks, code libraries, version control, and production automation.
What to check
The language and standard library are still evolving before 1.0, so upgrades can require source migrations.
