- Zig focuses on debugging applications rather than language knowledge, with no hidden control flow, memory allocations, or preprocessor.
- Zig introduces 'Comptime' for metaprogramming, allowing compile-time function calls and type manipulation without runtime overhead.
- Zig can be used to incrementally improve C/C++/Zig codebases, acting as a zero-dependency compiler with cross-compilation support.
- The Zig Software Foundation (ZSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2020 by Andrew Kelley to support Zig's development.
- ZSF offers paid work to core contributors and is sustained by donations, including corporate sponsors and GitHub sponsors.
