Buzz is a small, lightweight, statically typed scripting language implemented in Zig, featuring JIT compilation via MIR, fibers, C FFI, and tooling like an LSP, formatter, and package manager. It is in alpha and not ready for production use.

Use cases

• embed a lightweight scripting language in a C application
• try a statically typed alternative to Lua
• script with cooperative multitasking via fibers
• call C functions from a scripting language
• experiment with a JIT-compiled scripting language

When to choose

• you want a tiny, statically typed scripting language with C interop
• you need an embeddable language with JIT performance
• you're experimenting with language design or hobby scripting

When to avoid

• you need production-ready stability or long-term support
• you need Windows support today
• you need a large ecosystem of libraries and packages
