Zig Programming Language

Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

A 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.

Maintain it with Zig

Incrementally improve your C/C++/Zig codebase.

• Use Zig as a zero-dependency, drop-in C/C++ compiler that supports cross-compilation out-of-the-box.
• Leverage zig build to create a consistent development environment across all platforms.
• Add a Zig compilation unit to C/C++ projects; cross-language LTO is enabled by default.
