Description

Provides the Zig programming language compiler and toolchain for building native software with explicit control over memory, cross-compilation, and build steps. It is useful for developers writing system tools, libraries, embedded code, or performance-sensitive applications.

The toolchain can compile and run project build scripts, so use normal care with untrusted source trees. Language and package-manager behavior can change across Zig versions, so check project requirements.
