Zig

Zig is a general-purpose systems programming language, described by its own creator as a general-purpose improvement on the C programming language. It was designed by Andrew Kelley and first appeared on February 8, 2016, after Kelley grew frustrated with other languages while developing audio workstation software, finding Go C interoperability difficult, Rust rules overly restrictive and C++ prone to memory corruption bugs. Zig is multi-paradigm, covering imperative, concurrent, procedural and functional styles, with a static, strong, inferred, nominal and generic typing discipline. It favors manual memory management with no macros or preprocessor, supports compile-time generic data types and low-level features such as packed structs and arbitrary-width integers, offers direct interoperability with C, and treats cross-compilation as a first-class feature. Development is funded by the Zig Software Foundation through corporate sponsorships and personal donations.
