Zig is a general-purpose systems programming language with a self-hosted optimizing compiler, C interop, and cross-compilation support. The GitHub repository has moved to Codeberg and is no longer mirrored here.
Use cases
- write systems software in a modern language
- cross-compile C and Zig code for many targets
- replace a C compiler toolchain with a simpler one
- build fast native binaries without a runtime
- learn a low-level programming language
- use zig cc as a drop-in C compiler
When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over memory and performance
- you want easy cross-compilation out of the box
- you are incrementally migrating a C/C++ codebase
- you want a language with no hidden control flow or allocations
When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem of mature third-party libraries
- you require guaranteed language stability before 1.0
- your team depends on GC or runtime-heavy paradigms
- you need long-term ABI stability commitments
