Zig
Programming Languages
Zig is a general-purpose, low-level programming language designed as a modern alternative to C, emphasizing simplicity, manual memory management without hidden control flow, and robust compile-time metaprogramming (comptime). Created by Andrew Kelly and first released in 2016, it's used by systems programmers for performance-critical applications like operating systems, embedded software, and game engines. Its built-in cross-compilation support and lack of hidden allocations have made it popular among developers seeking finer control than C++ typically offers.
