Выпуск языка программирования Zig 0.17.0

После пяти месяцев разработки опубликован выпуск языка программирования Zig 0.17.0, развиваемого в качестве современной замены языка Си. В Zig пытаются сохранить простоту, гибкость использования и предсказуемость кодогенерации языка Си, при этом добавляя новшества для более эргономичной и безопасной разработки. Zig предоставляет возможности метапрограммирования (выполнения кода во время компиляции) и современную систему типов, созданную с огладкой на обеспечение безопасности и производительности (опциональные типы вместо нулевых указателей, выравнивание по адресу как часть типа, целочисленные типы с размерностью от 0 до 65535 бит, кортежи и т.д.). Код инструментария распространяется под лицензией MIT.
