    [$] Zig's 0.14 release inches the project toward stability

    Date:

    Description:
    The Zig project has announced the release of the 0.14 version of the language, including changes from more than 250 contributors. Zig is a low-level, memory-unsafe programming language that aims to compete with C instead of depending on it. Even though the language has not yet had a stable release, there are a number of projects using it as an alternative to C with better metaprogramming.
    While the project's release
    schedule has been a bit inconsistent, with the release of version 0.14 being delayed several times, the release contains a number of new convenience features,
    broader architecture support, and the next steps toward removing Zig's dependency on LLVM.
