Abstract
Despite being one of the youngest programming languages, Zig is progressing rapidly toward its first production-ready release. Join creator Andrew Kelley for a justification of Zig’s existence and a tour of the unique features of Zig. See what people have already built with it today, and explore what will be possible when Zig reaches 1.0. Bring your skepticism, tough questions, and unusual use cases.
