Что такое Zig?

Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain designed for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. Created by Andrew Kelley, Zig aims to be a better alternative to C, offering modern language features while maintaining the simplicity and performance that systems programmers need.

            🚀 Почему важны последние версии: Zig is rapidly evolving with significant performance improvements, new language features, and critical bug fixes in each release. The latest 0.14.1 includes major enhancements like improved cross-compilation, faster compilation times, and enhanced debugging capabilities.
        

🔥 Ключевые возможности Zig

⚡ Simple & Fast

No hidden control flow, no hidden memory allocations, no preprocessor. Focus on debugging your application, not your language knowledge.

🔧 Comptime Magic

Compile-time code execution and lazy evaluation. Call any function at compile-time and manipulate types as values without runtime overhead.

🌐 Cross-Compilation

Built-in cross-compilation support for dozens of targets. No external dependencies needed for most platforms.

🔄 C/C++ Interop

Use Zig as a drop-in C/C++ compiler with better cross-compilation. Incrementally adopt Zig in existing codebases.

🆕 Что нового в Zig 0.14.1

Labeled Switch Statements: New control flow for finite state machines and performance-critical code
Enhanced x86 Backend: 98% test suite compatibility with dramatically faster compilation
Incremental Compilation: Experimental support for faster edit-compile-debug cycles
File System Watching: Automatic rebuilds when source files change
Improved Target Support: Better support for ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, and RISC-V architectures
Enhanced Build System: More flexible module system and better dependency management

Шаг 2: Установить Zig

# Установить последнюю стабильную версию Zig
sudo apt install zig

# Или установить ночные сборки для передовых функций
sudo apt install zig-master
                

# Установить последнюю стабильную версию Zig
apt install zig

# Или установить ночные сборки для передовых функций
apt install zig-master
                

🎯 Примеры базового использования

Create a new project:

# Create and enter project directory
mkdir my-zig-project && cd my-zig-project

# Initialize new Zig project
zig init

# Build and run
zig build run
        

Compile a single file:

# Create hello.zig
echo 'const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() void {
    std.debug.print("Hello, Zig!\n", .{});
}' > hello.zig

# Compile and run
zig run hello.zig
        

Use as C compiler:

# Compile C code with Zig
zig cc -o program program.c

# Cross-compile for different targets
zig cc -target x86_64-windows -o program.exe program.c
